I guess it was the Southern Comfort that kept my feet warm, but I like a defroster that actually blows the hot air on the windshield without making my feet sweaty.
Anyway it seems to help my mileage and with the colder weather I'll take any benefit that allows me to actually see outside in 40 degree weather without running a dang AC compressor.
Strictly a Vodka and Orange juice fellow these days, the few times I take a drink anymore. I might actually have enough to feel it Sunday at the family get together, at my house. Rather drink it than put it in my tank, but my govt knows better.
