Interesting points. Now, I'm not sure of something:
When you tip in on the accelerator, from a steady cruising speed, does
it curb or temporarily disengage the a/c compressor, as many cars have
been designed to do, for purposes of 'giving the power back' to the
engine?

No. When you have the A/C on, the compressor is running pretty much all the
time. If you set the temperature higher than the minimum setting, there's a
heating coil in the system that brings the temperature back UP to the
setting you want.

Is the amount of gas used by the AC proportional to the temperature
setting? I was thinking that the lower the temperature the more often
the compressor would have to come on. Is this accurate?
thanks,
