Default Climate control at high speed.

Just came home from a weekend trip. It was the first chance to open the car up properly. I noticed that at speeds over 100 mph the blower seems to really blast out the air. I always have the climate control on auto. Was wondering if anyone else had noticed that and is it normal. It returns to the lower fan speed when the car slows down.
The car was excellent. 300 miles at an average consumption of 40.3 mpg - and I wasn't driving easy.

@100mph, I wouldnt be too worried about the a/c nor would I be doing 100mph long enough to even notice a problem.

Yeah, GS450h. Of course US mpg is not the same as ours. I think that's about 33.6 in US mpg. How does that compare with what you get? At $10 per gallon we are very fuel conscious!
