Message: <blockquote data-quote="prodigy" data-source="post: 1787004" data-attributes="member: 232">Dude, there's no such thing as gaining HP by switching off aircon. Say your car is 100HP, it does not mean when you switch off aircon, your car's HP rises to 105HP. Its just that your engine load has increased due to the some load being distributed by the belt to the compressor.As for being able to run extra 100KM from existing 400KM, i really think thats impossible unless you start to drive real slow, careful, keeping the revs below 2500RPM, avoid traffic jam, engine in super tip top condition and so on. If you tell me just by switching off the aircon and driving to your work just as usual as you drive with your aircon on, then i highly doubt this claim. Thats a saving of 25%. I've not heard of any manufacturer or read in any website that quoted such a large amount of fuel efficiency gained just by clicking the aircon off. And i don't understand people who have perfectly working aircon system that wind down the window so that they can gain better fuel efficiency. Have you got any idea which part of the world do we live in, the equator and its possibly the hottest. On a hot day, its almost unbearable just to open the window for a smoke. How are you gonna stand driving half an hour with your windows down. And then you have all those haze and pollution. Imagine being stuck behind a bus with its exhaust spewing black smoke. And then you get all those small particles and dust that gets into your car interior. You end up cleaning your interior every 3 days due to the dust. You may say it isn't that hot when you're in the highway but heck, when you open the windows, you have extra drag from the wind that gets into your car. And i'm glad that you're working on a "thing" that can replace the compressor. Way to go mate!</blockquote>
