This explains the sub 20mpg on her van... now I don't feel guilty one bit, for giving here a car to drive with no AC and one that burns biofules..

I wonder if she has been running around all winter with the AC on and turned to hot.. the female mind never seizes to amaze me.

My wife doesn't do that, but she will have the A/C and the heat on at the same time on a day when she could just turn the fan on and and have the temp exactly where she wants it. She'll get really cold and turn the knob to hot, and leave the A/C running.
