Guilty! Yeah, I still have problems with electric horsepower being unequal to gas horsepower...
Also, yes, it was only during high load times that a compressor would pull 20 horsepower. I'm thinking the class I heard this in was the V-5 GM compressor, which varies displacement according to load. They were going on about how these compressors would use so much less horsepower when it wasn't needed, to help with fuel economy. This was about 20 years ago, so I'm guessing they've come up with more efficient compressors...
