Figured I would check in on my original thread and do an update. After 2.5 years of ownership I am about to rollover 30k on the odo, so about 18k of miles driven. No further issues with the a/c. The only other maintenance has been a tire change, shame the Yoko's were the only economical replacements...

I've been close to 1/2 a charge per day lately, usually 7 bars consumed. My per day mileage is 20, + or - 1.5 miles. Heat set to full blast
