It'a hard to think of not having an AC where I live. Temps soar up to 115-120F in the summer. Oh and with a car being like an oven, cars typically get readings of 130-140F when they are in the sun.

My AC was broken a month or so ago, and I was dying. Everytime I went anywhere, I came out of the car all sweaty. An AC is a must have for about 4 months out of the year. I suspect that in a couple months, my MPG will go up by 5-10% due to not having to use the AC much at all.
