i know that when the engine is off the power steering works off the electrics, what about the a/c? im asking becasue a ford dealer sold my mother a non hybrid by telling her that in a high temp climate she would see no benifits since the a/c would be running off the engine the whole time negating the hybrid benifits. i f this is bs i would very much like a linky to a page that can be printed and waved in someones face. Thanks
