This is a much debated topic. Is it more economical using the air conditioning or letting the window down? It all depends. If you are driving in local traffic or get stuck in a traffic, it is definitely cheaper to open the windows. But if you are on a high way and going at over 65, it is better on gas to close the window and run the air conditioning. Because doing so decreases air resistance.
But the problem is, if you got stuck in traffic and the temperature is 95, will you still leave the air conditioning off? So the best way to save gas is to carpool, and combine errands together so to reduce the chance of getting stuck in a traffic.
