I've got a house in Phoenix with the original Goetle AC package unit

What do you pay in electric to cool for one year, 12 years ago we
junked a unit and saved 60% ever since, its paid itself back many
times over, like that 9mpg 350 Chevy Blazer I sold for a 20 mpg car, I
wasted so much money driving that gas hog, money ****ed down the
drain. You AC is inneficent , thats nothing to be proud of.

My 2009 pickup gets the same gas mileage as my 1952 Buick Roadmaster.
Now there is American progress.

52 Roadmaster, Dynaflow- straight 8, my 54 Buick was Dynaflow, 12v,
264V8 170 hp with the starter in the floor and switch in the carb. It
got 21hwy, but 8 city. no cat or pollution equipment to reduce milage.
