We use it on the hiways at higher speeds when open windows are a nuisance and it's in the 90's/100's
Around TV (when we're not on bikes) we prefer to get used to the ambiant outside temps and it's helped us grow tolerant and fond of those peaceful low traffic summers when we visit (and have our own place that's usually un rented)
Before we bought we came during the week of longest day (June 21) and the hottest weekend (late august) to see how it was and passed the test.
We figure we gotta go outside sometime, so crawling from an AC'd home to car to stores was too many changes, so we just try to acclimate.
We crank it up at night in the summers if it's over 85 in the house.
we went with fans and shade control in Md all summer, 2010.
We draw air in at night till it's cooler and close then shades and windows to keep it in til it - it can last til the evening if it doesn't get near 100
Fans are our friends.
and when we have guests in the home or car, they are in charge, they get it their way with no guilt ever.
This has been helpful, too:

We have friends in a premier in TV and they are non-climate controllers too.
Older than us, dog owners, and bicyclers.
A big reason for them and us is that since biking is what we love, it makes going out easy.
Oops, sorry this was sooo off topic, but sometimes those things happen as we get forgetful.
besides, as much as we care, topicality can go as astray (as the ball did so many times the one time we went golfing in the 60's)
