The AC itself doesn't use gas, but it's the extra strain on the motor that causes your car to use more fuel. Depending on the make and year of your vehicle, it varies. If you're really low, and unsure if you'll make it to a station, it's an extra precaution to not use the AC. Hope you can fuel up and cool off soon! - poppet

Only thing is that if the power is out then most gas stations do not work because they don't have back up generators. - cascupcake

How does an entire city like San Deigo have a power outage? And is it San Deigo and the entire city? Isn't San Deigo kinda big? - JediTrance

What do you mean AAA isn't responding to calls? Isn't that what you pay them for? Well I'm glad I don't have them anymore. - PrettyPixie
