So...
I probably been thinking about this topic for last couple of years...
But the way I use the air condition in my car is always been the same...
I only use AC during summer and never use it during winter...

But if I use the AC, I always put it to the coldest setting and turn it to the lowest level. If I get cold in between I turn off the AC. Then if I get hot again I turn it to the lowest level. Back and forth... So like on a long drive, I would turn it on and off quite few times... Now does this save gas compare to leaving the AC on all the time but adjusting the temperature? Of course level being set to the lowest level.

Anyone know this? I googled enough and wasn't really lucky with it... lol...

Thanks for reading guys =)
