How often do you use your A/C
How often does everyone use there air conditioning in the car? I personally like having the windows down and the sunroof tilted up or open completely, even on those hot days. Not to mention my car is slow as hell with the A/C on. What about you all?

Rep Power: 305 i turn it on and off depending on how i'm driving.
it's usually on during long drives in summer, and off during short drives to friend's house or the store or getting on an onramp.

Rep Power: 0 I usually have it on all the time. Once in a while, I turn off the AC and roll down the windows to let the breeze in. Don't you had it when someone drives and turns off the AC and Keep the windows UP?? The air becomes stuffy and muggy.

Rep Power: 274 Every freaking day. In SD, it's been beautiful at around 75-80 in the daytime.
When I'm in OC / LA it's 90, the freeway's bumper to bumper, and you don't want the smog in your face, so you turn up the A/C. Whenever the girl is in the car the A/C goes on.
LOL, just thought of something... thats a way to tell if your gf is low(er) or high maintenance.
If she insists on A/C, she's hi maint. if she doesn't mind the wind, lower maint.

Rep Power: 564 I hardly ever use it. Once and awhile when the windows fog during a rainy day but that's it. Sunroof and windows for me most of the time.

Rep Power: 303 I run mine all summer. Since I don't use R-134 in my system, the drop in mileage is minimal. I still get about 350 miles a tank. Besides, I bought a car with AC because it gets HOT in LA. So there.
