AC Question

I was wondering does it take the same amount of GAS when the AC runs at 70C compared to 60C? As well As fan speed the harder it blows the more gas it uses?

I usually have it runing on 70C and 2 bars @ FAN SPEED.

I've read theories as long as the compressor is running it doesnt matter, I just wanna get this info straight.

thx

I assume you mean 60/70 degrees F. Yes, as long as the A/C is on the temperature doesn't matter. In order to control humidity, the climate control always delivers a mix of cooled and heated air. The set point only determines how much of each is in the mix.
