A/C compressors use to go out pretty regularly every spring. A result of not being used for 2 to 4 months, depending were you lived. The compressors were huge compared to the ones we have now. These smaller ones don't have that much pull down on our engines and have little effect on our MPG. By having them run with the defrost in the winter we have fewer failures in the spring. I have checked the MPG with the A/C runing and with it running and I get the same 35MPG either way..
