Re: Just hot everywhere

I think that's right, Daryl. Seems to me, auto A/Cs no longer depend on belt-driven compressors that lug the engine down. All electric instead. One can sit in a parking lot with the engine and A/C running while the significant other does whatever significant others do for 30 minutes and the engine temperature doesn't get anywhere near red line but the cab stays cool.

Actually, Kitty, with modern cars, it costs more in gas to have the windows
open than having the AC running, due to the way the airflow over the body
is designed and the drag with windows open. Or so I'm told.

As I said, I'm not used to a/c so didn't know where that point should be
to just keep the house ok all day. I will turn it off tonight until we
have another heatwave.


I don't use the ac in my car - gas is too high! When I went to the
country the other day, I had the windows down and elbows up so the air
could blow in the sleeves and cool my back as I leaned forward.
