Improve AC

I am new and maybe not as committed as most members here. Weather you will go to extremes of austerity to squeeze out that extra tenth of an mpg or just want to get a few extra miles out of a tank every little bit helps. If you have automatic climate control this will improve fuel economy more than being a few degrees past uncomfortable. Cycling the compressor less improves efficiency.

Here is what I learned and where I learned it.

I guess I need a few more posts for those who care to use google murano forum improve AC,

Wrap all the lines, filter dryer and everything you can under the hood with pipe insulating wrap.
It worked a lot better than I thought it would when I did it.

I almost forgot the is some near clear tint that blocks a lot of heat. Mine cost 260.00 so not cost effective for just eccomod but worthwhile.
