I do that too. The wife doesn't care for full cooling even in the hottest weather, saving the AC for downhill parts of our homeward commute keeps me from melting and her from freezing. Works out pretty well.
Even better would be a variable speed, electrically driven compressor, rather than controlling the cooling by mixing in heater function. That's got to be the most wasteful way of mitigating the cooling I've ever heard of...
