Hello All,
I was wondering.. when you turn on the AC in a vehicle and the compressor starts putting load on the engine.. does it put the same load on the engine all of the time? Or does it depend on how fast the blower motor is running.
For example if you use the AC but keep the blower on low, will you save fuel/load on the engine, V.S. running the blower on high with the AC on?
Just wondering because it may make more sense to run it high.. then turn it off when I am comfortable enough, then run it high again. I have a 99 SL1 and the compressor basically completely kills its power, and in the 2013 it idles rougher with the AC on so I like to minimize use as much as possible.
Thanks,
