This does seem strange to me. So no matter what the control is on the a/c
is on also. what positions does the a/c not run while in? So my mileage,
and qtr mile times could be significantly improved with some kind of cutoff
switch? Like today it was 75 and i was open air cruising because it was so
beautiful, no need to waste performance on the a/c compressor. I do like
the WOT switch but I was under the presumption that there was one already.

So if I run the fan on ONLY face or ONLY feet the A/C turns off...? Neat...
but then why have settings for the A/C at all? Seems screwy to me. I
prefer it to be set in the Bi-Level position but I guess I acn learn to
deal for a few free ponies, actually ponies that pay me to take them due to
the better mileage.

Well guys I thank you both for your input and I look forward to some
development of a cutoff switch for the a/c.
Thanks Again,
