And another good point about freeway air, since I seldom drive on freeways. I get pine-scented mountain air instead - or the sagebrush-scented desert variety.
Abso-moose-ly! I observed his behavior when he drove, and I copied his A/C use. We only use A/C on the freeway and only on the drive-home leg because it's not hot at daybreak. I suspect that in July/August I may keep the A/C on longer after we get off the freeway. We start at the beach (don't need A/C) but end up inland where it gets pretty hot.
