    Driving style in hot weather with air conditioner ON

    I think my MS3 is very unhappy with the air conditioner on in this insanely warm weather. So, I have been taking it easy on my driving style and shifting at lower rpms - around 3K. It almost feels like my car is getting bogged down when the temps cross 96 with the air conditioner turned on...
