Relocate A/C Compressor to Electric drive motor

Re: Relocate A/C Compressor to Electric drive motor
Actually, I should have left the "they" out, meaning just you! It has nothing to do with your knowledge, it's the way you talk down to people. I remember one post where you told a member that he doesn't belong under the hood!!
I was going to comment about your rude reply to RSBROWN myself but held off but I'm glad to see that he spoke up. We both saw the rudeness in your post.

However, I don't ever recall saying that someone did not belong under the hood. I think it likely that you saw my REPLY to a different post, where I had quoted a previous post. Your comment describes another person of whom I am thinking, who posts frequently, but that is not generally my style. For one thing, I don't get "under the hood" myself, except to check fluid levels. I find modern cars to be too computerized to work on, although I am considering attempting to replace my cabin filter next time - it seems easy enough.
EDIT: But I doubt it; since I have an extended warranty, I generally let the dealer do all maintenance. It is simpler should some kind of warranty issue arise.
Anyway, thanks for clarifying your earlier post. I don't mind being criticized, I just want to make sure I earned it...

BTW, my lifetime MPG just slipped below 30 (29.99), and I'm still quite happy with my FEH.

good day
Just to inform you that:
I have a 2010 FEH and I can tell you that when that electric compressor is running and you are stopped, my SOC goes down by at least .1% per second.

Ford knew this and it is one reason they eliminated the Aux Battery A/C on the 2010 FEH and FFH. For those that want and need to use the A/C, the '09 FEH should get better mileage. Now that it is in the 90's F here in Jupiter my Aux Battery A/C runs when the engine runs. The hot temperature makes the engine more efficient so I'm expecting to maintain 57mpg tanks this summer.
This is going to hurt Ford when word gets out and they should have waited till the Li Ion plug-in batteries were available to make the change.

But the FE losses from the just the econ operation of the belt driven A/C probably still exceed yours.

stevedebi,
Thanks for your updates. I guess I can just burn a little extra gas to keep cool. Where do you find the lifetime mpg? My highway average is about 30mpg and my city is about 27. I just took it to the dealer and paid for the blend door actuator and to have all firmware flashed. The car seems to start using the battery sooner and for longer periods than previously. Still not quite the fuel efficiency I was looking for especially sitting in a hot car if I try to get the most out of my tank.

NP, I was looking through some of the menus to see if I could find it. Wish there was a running log stored someplace since I bought the FEH used.
