I usually DON'T turn off my Air Condition when I turn off my car.

I have friends that turn it off before they shut down the car. They say it's better for the air con.

To me it doesn't matter, because all the button does is disengage the compressor, stopping it. This is the same as turning off the engine. I'm not an air condition person, so I'm just assuming that's that it's the only thing that happens when you turn of the air cond.

Is it actually better to turn off the A/C before turning off the engine?
