Proven in testing.. Close windows and run the air conditioner on the highway. Aerodynamic losses from open windows create more drag then the AC uses. Open the windows in town traffic. The AC uses more power from the engine than any losses from aerodynamic drag. (open windows have very little drag effect in normal town driving speeds.) Of course there always is the small problems with in town traffic at a standstill and radiated 120F heat and the exhaust from the big truck/SUV next to you and in front and behind. jimt On 9/2/05 6:56 PM, "Wil Haslup" <wil@CHARMFX.COM> wrote: > - check your tire pressure, check your alignment, close the windows and > run the air if you have to or leave it off if you can stand it.
