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.

Around here, we bundle up to go out for many months in winter. Maybe what you need is a cool jacket. For just a few minutes, it would not need to be high-tech at all. A liner of water-filled tubes and a bit of insulation would do it, and you could just turn it inside out to chill in the next AC space. To run it all day, a pump and an ice tank will do the trick. A cool hat really helps, too. For comfort, that's the biggest factor. Cool coveralls are an option, too.
