  • The question was about keeping the occupants comfortable with minimal fuel energy. So far, this is the only answer that factors in the human element of cooling the occupants with their own sweat. Frankly, I’d take a 5F warmer day with a breeze over a 5F cooler day with no breeze. The same goes for in a car.

    On a hot day, I’ll start with the windows open and AC running just to push the hot air out and give the AC a lower ambient starting temperature, but the question wasn’t about how to cool the car the fastest.
