I'm still using my 3/4 Ton Sanyo heat pump for heat, and I used it for AC about seven days this summer. This time of year, my house is very close to being in comfortable equilibrium (70F) with the outside temperature.
I also drive a car that has a lifetime average of 54 mpg.
It might be interesting to convert all energy use to the same units, say kWh and make that comparison.
BTW, I heard a very interesting talk last night where I learned that the poverty level in India is defined as less than 75 cents per day. I also learned that less than half of India has access to electricity.

Interesting you bring this up:
Modi to Use Solar to Bring Power to Every Home by 2019 - Bloomberg
I use ~200KWH a month, a little more in the winter. We don't need AC up here.
