I tune the windows to keep me OK if I am alone and minimize noise. But if the humidity makes it uncomfortable (80-100F,) I go on recirculate and the warmest A/C setting consistent with an alert 'Bob the Driver.' I'll also switch to faster route with fewer stops.

Occasionally we have severe windshield fogging so I'll button up for a short blast of A/C to dry it out and then turn off the compressor and recirculate the now dryer air. Once the windshield fogging conditions are past, windows down.

When I have a passenger, "she who must be obeyed."
