I'm going to kick this one to the top because I'm bored, and because in deep, south Texas (95F average summer temp) A/C is an important thing.

I will say that I set my personal record using the A/C, but like another poster said, my vehicle is kind of a gas pig, and so the A/C takes less of a bite out of the overall consumption.

I did run with the blower on almost high, though, recirculate and shut off the passenger side duct. I also shut it off when I didn't need it.

I wouldn't say it was pleasant inside the cab, but bearable (and for a sissy like me, that's saying something

).

I guess I believe saving fuel should fit my lifestyle, maybe that is heresy...
