An A/C unit will need to dump the heat somewhere... which makes me think it won't be as helpful as it can in such an enclosed space as a car. If humidity is a problem, I'd use the in-car A/C sparingly. Otherwise if humidity is low, a portable fan that uses less power/generates less heat would be my option.

But then again, you look like you're doing pretty well on MPGs. A little AC and/or window crack wouldn't hurt in small doses.
