Anybody know if things are moving towards cooled seats? - Mike Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:39:07 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/2811-nrel-wants-to-keep-you-cool-while-using-less-fuel#comment-27917 roll yer winders down a bit but even better, quit concentrating on the auto industry and personal mobility and make the change and demand light rail and other innovative forms of transit. all of us pedestrians would be grateful. - myna lee Tue, 23 Jun 2009 21:37:41 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/efficiency/2811-nrel-wants-to-keep-you-cool-while-using-less-fuel#comment-27801 REMEMBER, the defrost cycle on your car uses your AC compressor to eliminate condensation so you may be wasting gas in the winter with defrost without knowing it! - Brian Fri, 19 Jun 2009 19:55:39 +0100
