A/C Recirc

Not all of us have the fortitude to drive around all day withthe windows down, wspecially if we hit hwys. Therefore I have a question regarding a/c recirculation.

In another post someone mentioned how they P&G their a/c because of the drag on the motor, and I concur in my Vibe there is a 10mpg difference on the scangauge with or without a/c.

So I was thinking, since I do not use the 2 passenger vents in my car, would I gain any benefit from piping air from one of those vents directly in the recirc tube to get colder air in there and perhaps extending my non a/c use?

Things that you go hmmmm ....
