Is it true?

Hot days, turned air conditioning on, slight uphill road, start from STOP, and to the 2nd gear, no power....

any regas place to recommend?

i dont think regassing the air con will give you more power while it's on. the small capacity engines we have struggle with the air con on. i know mine does.

That's just the way it is with small capacity engines when running the aircon. Can't do anything about it.

gas levels will not change power output at all.. but will change ur efficiency to cool the car meaning u need to use it less therefor increasing power ;) :p hehe
