INFORMATIVE A/C FACTS
• The 1940 Packard was the first car to offer factory installed air conditioning.
• By 1969, more than half of all new cars sold were equipped with A/C.
• Some brands affixed window decals to promote their air-conditioned automobiles.
• For cars not equipped with factory air, dealer-installed, under-dash unit were popular.
• In a 1971 front-page story, the New York Times implicated air-conditioning in the death of the convertible, postulating that: “In the age of air-conditioning, real air has lost its value.”
• After the Freon used in A/C units was blamed for depleting the ozone layer, automakers were required to switch from R12 to the less harmful R134a refrigerant by 1996.
• R134a has been linked to global warming. The EPA is advocating a change to HFO-1234yf; however, Daimler has refused to use the new refrigerant over safety concerns.
• Dual-zone automatic climate control allows for separate temperature settings for driver and passenger; some cars have additional zones for rear-seat passengers.
• Volkswagen calls its manual air conditioning system “Climatic;” automatic A/C is “Climatronic.”
• Today, more than 99 percent of all new cars are air conditioned.
• There’s no A/C in base versions of the Chevrolet Aveo; Honda Civic; Hyundai Accent and Elantra; Jeep Wrangler; Kia Forte and Rio; Mazda 3; Mitsubishi Lancer; Nissan Versa; and Toyota Tacoma.
• Testing by Consumer Reports found that using a car’s air-conditioner resulted in a more than 3 mpg loss at highway speeds. Driving with the windows open had no measurable effect on the fuel economy.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” Ronald Reagan
