Oh it does work great on 1 but when I get into a hot car here in Bakersfield, you want alittle more air flow then what 1 puts out,lol. That least until the car is cool and then it goes to one and keeps the car cool from there.

Sounds like yours is normal. Lucky! (thumb)
What year is it?

Open a window you panzies...

Who needs Air Conditioning? Kills gas mileage anyway right?

Actually it depends on your velocity. With almost every car, there is a turbulance point in which air flow will reduce mpg when windows are open, moreso than running AC.

Yep. That point is around 50 mph.

City driving: open the windows
Freeway: use the A/C

Unless it's hotter than blue blazes. Then screw the gas mileage!

Or you're surrounded by gas polluters like diesel trucks and old beaters that shouldn't be on the road, so you HAVE to use the A/C.
