Trip to Death Valley on TW GE8 FIT
Drove from LA - used AC a lot, averaged 41 mpg. Awesome park.
By the way, I was surprised to find AC adequate. On second click with air directing to feet and face, even in 100 F heat.

GGPJON, I am not sure. What/who is "the undertaker"?
I think the compressor cycles on and off being turned on by the pressure valve. The higher the fan speed, the faster the evaporator will heat up, lowering the pressure, and in turn turning the compressor on. That's how I understand the ac system on the fit.
It was hot... the ground heats up to 130 I've heard. But it was tolerable, especially with the wind. BTW, saw a lot of fits. They must be favored by the outdoor folks.

Yeah, the white one made it much easier to handle the heat. Most cars in death valley and in surrounding towns are light color as folks know how much of a difference that makes in the desert.
