If you have allergies like my wife does, you don't have a choice. I stopped worrying about how much it was costing me to operate the air conditioner in my Subaru a long time ago. Now I sit back and watch everyone else get sweaty & irritated while I peacefully listened to a tape. I like it, but decide for yourself. Phil Rastocny
