What About The AC?

You already saved a bunch of money by buying a cheap underpowered jap car that gets good mileage, why torture yourself sweating inside a car youre making payments on? Buy premium too and live a little..my mileage went up 1.5 to 2 mpg in the hot weather just by buying premium, the car likes it under load (I drive hard), live a little cheapskates.

I have ridden my bicycle across the country, sometimes in very hot weather. Also there were years back there where I put more miles on my bicycle than my car! So the heat doesnt bother me much. I only got AC in the Yaris because of resale issues, that and just try to find one without it!
I have a feeling, given our insane spending and wastefull habits, that just having a car to drive, any car whether it has AC or not, is going to be a BIG DEAL sometime in the not too distant future. I think someday the Yaris will be seen to be a BIG car with a rather large and powerfull engine.

As government regulation now stands, by 2016 the current Yaris will have average mileage for a US-sold car.
