Summer heat and glare is the main reason I tinted the windows on my TCH. It made a noticeable difference in how hard the AC works.

In 100F weather, I see about a 3 mpg drop when I run the AC on the highway, using recirc and ECO. I am sure 115F would drop it further. My last trip to Phoenix was in 100F temps and the TCH only managed 40MPG.
