You must drive a powerful, heavy car. The bare a/c pulley on the compressor, without the clutch engaged weighs about 1.5-2 lbs. to a little non-vtec 4 cylinder, it makes a difference, now if you don't believe me, enjoy your heavy, powerful car and we'll both just drop it, but to the guys that drive the older, small, lightweight cars where 3-5 HP freed up makes a difference, they know what the effect is, whether it makes sense or not.
Relative Humidity can NEVER go above 100%. It is completely impossible. It's a ratio of how much water is in the air divided by the amount of water that it could have. Therefore you see that it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually contain more water than it has the potential to hold and subsequently, a relative humidity number above 100% makes no sense at all.
I'm not going to argue, I mean, I only live here... Have you ever heard of fog?
