Did their test run with the windows all the way down? Did they try the fan option with windows narrowly cracked? And most importantly did they remove the AC belt? Even turned-off, the AC's compressor belt is a parasitic draw on the engine. I run dark metalized heat reflective tint, sheep skin seat covers, the fan, and slightly cracked windows. It is July and humid and I'll be fine (but I have almost never used AC, even when I lived in Virginia's tidewater humid zone).
