******* with A/C on
I noticed yesterday on my way home how much of an impact my A/C has on the engine. I was trying to get up to highway speeds and it felt like I was towing a 2,000lbs trailer, I could do it, but it took a lot more skinny pedal and a bit longer. Sure enough, as soon as I shut off the A/C it was back to normal.
Now I know the A/C uses a good amount of power and ties directly to the engine, but is it really supposed to impact it that much?
