Couldn't agree more. I was in West Texas during the month of June. It got up to 113 during this time. Where A/C is concerned, this was an ecomodder/hypermiler's worst nightmare.

I guess in a car with a larger engine it is more subtle, but in my 1.9l tdi, the draw from the A/C is quite significant.
