When i got my car, i will use it as it is for about a month or two & will monitor the aircond compressor's on/off behavior (duration) at a certain temperature setting as a controlled value. then i will experimenting my car with the aircond piping insulation DIY & monitor again the post-DIY on/off behavior of the compressor at the same temperature setting. After the insulation, if the compressor operating duration is less than before the insulation is been done, i can safely says that the compressor's load now is lesser at the same setting temperature & vice versa. Less load on compressor (at the same temperature setting) can be translated to more efficient aircond = less load to the engine (due to compressor operating duration is lesser) = good gas mileage right? correct me if i'm wrong

Cannot wait to do the experimentlah..hehe. Some of the SG Forte owners already did the aircond piping insulation almost 7 month now with no bad feedback whatsoever except stating that their car aircond now perform significantly better. 1 guy also said that he did this to his Aveo since 2005. The Aveo aircond working more efficiently up to the point when he traded in the car for the Forte

not yet. only shows for public once at the pavilion during the launching event last November
