The fuel usage is nowhere near as significant as the supergreens will tell us. It's best to leave the AC compressor on all the time as this keeps the refrigerant and gas borne lubricant in circulation. Which goes a very very long way to stop seals failing and causing system leaks.

The supergreens need to consider that it's ILLEGAL to vent R134a into the atmosphere because it's extremely bad for the environment on general and very very bad for their beloved ozone layer.
