I can tell when the A/C is on in the 300E....but its not too bad.....the car that REALLY suffers from A/C is our Rav4....holy cow....its like dragging an anchor! (it only has 120hp on a good day)

I can't imagine the 2.6 in a W126....thats just scary! I guess if all you're doing is slinking around through villages its ok.....but trying to do anything on the autobahn would be a real let down...
