Question

Can you save more gas by driving with your windows down or with the AC on?

Answer 1

the AC takes power away from the engine, which in turn uses more gas when you run it.  but if it's 90 out, you'd be insane not to run  the AC.  It's not going to save you a lot of money, a few bucks that you'd p**s away anyhow.

Answer 2

Heh, there was a mythbusters episode about this.

They concluded that driving with the windows down was more fuel efficient than leaving the windows up and running AC.

Answer 3

Gas is good.  Gas is good.

Answer 4

ZZZZ...wake me up when people stop talking about gas prices so much.

Answer 5

Windows down if under 60mph, AC on if more than 60.

Answer 6

You can save money by staying HOME as much as possible. But  answer to your question (Windows down) saves money. The AC pulls the engine down. (A Fact) But like someone else said , if the temp is 90 or above who wants to suffer especially if you are pg? :)

Try saving in different areas, eating out less, going out less and etc.
