Fuel
Apparently, A/C slurps gasoline! Are you very careful with your gas and do you want to be able to drive as long as possible before you have to go back to a gas station?

On a hot day, the air conditioning can use up to 12.5 per cent fuel. Small calculation: if we assume a tank of 70 litres of gas, as much as 8.75 litres of fuel can be used by the air conditioning. With automatic air conditioning, you lose about half as much fuel.
