Humid air is less dense then cold dry air.

an engine sucking in hot humid air will produce less power.

Just wait until July and August with the A/C on full blast! Then you'll feel like you're driving a slow *** bus or something!!

Once my parents go to work... or at least 1 parent goes to work.. my car goes straight into the garage (the second a spot is free) hehe.

WIth prices of gas these days.. no need to put the pedal to the metal anymore.

^ that was a productive post.


My car runs slow all the time, so I really don't notice the difference, but what I do know is that if im going up a huge hill and half way up i turn on my ac.. almost start rolling backwards down the hill coz it bogs down my engine. I am nice and cool while its on though!!
