Illusion? car runs faster after recharge the AC

[bigtisas]

My AC was cool not cold, so I bought two bottles of Freeze12 from ebay. The package came with two Freeze12 and a small bottle of AC compressor lubricant, so I added them in during the weekend.

The AC is now colder as expect. I noticed the car seems to run faster since then. From 0-60 or at highway speed, the car seems to be more peppy. I cannot explain why. Am I dreaming? illusion? Could that be the AC lubricant somehow freed up a bad AC compressor? The car seems to be faster with or without AC on.

Ooo, I didn't think I could recharge the AC on my own... Search time!

This is what I used to recharge my AC.

I vote for pride in ownership making the car feel faster.

Or it could be your car's 'spirit' is happier now that it is more like new again so it runs 'faster'.

Either way, enjoy your cold a/c...

it's definitely more comfy... my car runs like a champ right after a wash & fill-up

i don't think it's possible the car runs faster, but it is possible that the compressor is better lubricated now

You're kidding. Right?

You're not supposed to inhale that stuff.

placebo effect...it was always fast and peppy, now it just took some ac recharging to realize that

the colder air inside the car produces a density shift between the air molecules in the car and outside, thus producing a temporary amount of lift, which equates to Bernoulli’s principal on an inverted lifting body paradigm.

The same experience can be felt by lighting a fart in the car too
