[QUOTE="si|verfish, post: 1138802, member: 2758"] Switching off your aircon and winding down your window wouldn't necessarily save you fuel. Because if you are cruising, by having your window down, you are increasing drag and that effects fuel consumption. Mythbusters actually tested this, with 2 identical cars running with the same fuel around a track. One with the window down and one with its air conditioning on. Apparently, when you are going slowly, its better to have your windows down. But, if your are going fast (they said 50 mph which is around 80 km/h), it is better to have your aircon on. That's because aerodynamic drag only comes into play when you are going fast enough. [/QUOTE]
