    You should run your AC once a week during winter to keep the seals lubricated. Failure to do so will mean you'll have to get the AC gassed more regularly than you would otherwise need to! The small amount of fuel you'll lose by running the AC for say 15 mins a week will not come close to the regassing cost! - so running the AC can save you money!

    Climate control based 3rd gens makes this easy, air con is automatic with the demister function, so I subconsciously turn the air con on every week during winter without even thinking about it.
    Then: 1997 KE Verada Sedan
    Now: 2004 TL Magna VR-X AWD
    Also: 1993 TR Magna Sedan
