Climate control question
Question on climate control AC: Does the compressore work less if you have the climate control on say 77 VS 68 deg. (saving gas to) or does it work the same amount and just mix in warm outside air?

The colder you set your A/C, the more heat has to be removed from the cabin and the A/C compressor has to work longer to remove this heat, so HP is robbed from the engine to operate the compressor.
