Air conditioning and genuine fuel economy rhetoric
The air conditioning compressor can sap a considerable amount of power, upwards in the 15 horsepower range. That's enough to drive the average car 35 MPH. That puts a serious dent in fuel mileage.
The Feds calculate 1 supertanker of crude out of every 10 is to feed motorvehicle air conditioning in the US.
