And under the carpet, the trim pieces, and anywhere else you can stuff it. It works very well. Before I put all that stuff in there I could run the AC at max for hours on end and still be melting. Afterwards, it takes about 10mins at half power to cool the insides down even in the hottest Florida summer. Then the AC can be turned off and on as needed. Can't say what it's done for the mpg but it has made driving much more comfortable.
