Is It Better To Put Your Windows Down OR Turn The A/C On?

Hey.... It's hot outside !

The weather has definitely  warmed up and it makes you wonder ... is driving with the windows down or with the air conditioning running more fuel efficient?

We've been told that driving with the windows up and the air-conditioning on gives a car better gas mileage than rolling the windows down. Car owners continue to report that their miles per gallon  actually dropped when driving with the AC turned on.

The best way to figure out what works best for your vehicle  is to try each situation yourself. Vehicles are all different -- what saves gas in a Mini Cooper might not be the most fuel-efficient strategy for a Cadillac Escalade.
