a Few more thoughts

Since I live in Florida and A/C is something I am not willing to give up...
If I find a 1L with A/C and push it down the hwy at 75 mph, how much better off will I likely be?

It would seem that I need a 1.3L to use the A/C and still be able to get up and go. I understand I will get better mpg if I slow down but I am not willing to spend that much time on the road.

Don't tell me it isn't that much more time. I made the run in my pickup at 85-90 before the metro and dearly wish I could get the commute time that short again. Looking like crazy for a job closer to home is the key!

Thanks for the input
