A/C + LS1=? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I live in FL and even as hot as it gets here because of gas mileage I never run my AC.
Just wondering how many of you run your ac and if so how many miles do ya get??

AC For the win. When its 95 degrees and your sitting in traffic under the hot southern sun, the AC is great. I just clocked 24 mpg with teh AC on while driving 300 miles from Columbia to Atlanta to G11 the other day.

I got Fabric Seats.. that problem rarely happens. My AC is gone, completely deleted. I got the good 'ole roll down Windows. I took it out as soon as I got it, the previous owner put $400 in it right before he sold it to me and it crapped out 2 days later.
It blows colder now with a Cover Plate over the AC stuff than it ever did with the AC actually installed..

I run the AC whenever it's too warm to be comfortable without it.

out of the 3 cars i have had (1 in Florida and 2 in Cali), i have used the A/C maybe 10 times. Im about to drive from San Diego to Florida so i guess i'll use it driving through the desert. Guess i should make sure it works.
