A/C Usage and Impact on FE

[JanGeo]

Jay - one of the nice things about a new car is that you get to break it in just the way you want to. I bought 1 used one - my first and after the summer had to rebuild the motor since it was only driven to church on Sundays by a little old grandmas ... yeah really ... engine full of carbon and no getup and go at all. After having the engine rebuilt and then some head work on it by me it was one of the fastest 1965 Rambler Americans with a flat head 6 in the area. All my other three cars were new and lasted 12 to 14 years each with a lot less headaches than the old used Rambler. I am now on my 4th car . . . 65 Rambler (72 June), 80 VW Rabbit (80 January), 94 Geo Metro (93 December) 2006 xB (05 November). Oh yeah and 2 new and 1 used motorcycles sprinkled in there.
