There is no noticeable loss in mileage, certainly none in coolant of using a/c at 60% capacity versu 100% capacity.

It depends on which car you have. Some just mix in hot air to make it warmer. Other's shut off the compressor after the internal temperature has reached a certain point. The second type can save you gas if you don't run the a/c at 100%.
