I mitigate my A/C use by doing a little "Pulse and Glide" with it. I turn the vents to recirculate and then run the A/C on maximum until it's nice and cold, and then turn off the A/C and let it recirculate until it's just warm enough I can't stand it, then repeat. In moderate weather, I can sometimes do 5 minutes on, 10-15 minutes off. The fan stays on high to keep the air circulating, which helps.
