how can you conserve gas?

* Use the A/C instead of rolling the windows down. The drag caused by the windows slows you down and affects your too. When your motor is working (not idling), the A/C power draw isn't all that significant and will probably cost about the same as the drag from the windows (I cant prove this, just my theory).

tested on mythbusters, was found to be false and in fact opposite. i think they found that the AC wastes 15-20% more fuel than the windows down.

the actual test results go like this

its more efficent to roll the windows down if you are traveling under 45mph. if you're goin faster than 45mph roll em up and blast the a/c.

that makes alot of sense, actually. i didtn even thin about the fact that drag exponentially increases with speed. i used to know the formula, but i forgot.
