all things being equal, both light and dark vehicles, of the same make and model, will heat to the same point

...if both are parked in the shade.

Trust me on this. I live in NM, have lived in southern Idaho (over 100 degrees in the summer), and Arizona. I have owned both light and dark colored cars. It makes no difference. They all get hotter than hell in the summer when you park them in the sun.

I guarantee you that any color of car, when parked in the sun, will reach more than 125 degrees at the dash when temps go over 95 degrees outside (I've seen higher). You're gonna use the A/C, regardless of paint color.

The rationale goes like this: Vehicle AC units sap engine power and hurt fuel economy. If vehicle paint and glass reflect more heat, car interiors will be cooler. That means drivers will use their AC units less, the compressors won’t have to work as hard and auto makers will be able to use smaller AC units in the future.

In the land of fruits and nuts.

You just can’t make this stuff up! I believe all of the sane people in CA have left.

If tan people absorb more sun heat that pale people, are they going to outlaw tanning salons or require people to cover up in white sheets while on public beaches.

So many really stupid threads today ripe for hijacking.

It’s probably caused by overheated brains. Maybe we can put liberal brains on ice and that’d immediately solve all known environmental and energy problems.

Just as a follow-up to all this, it appears the original story was incorrect. California has no plans to ban black car paint.
