In the nice hot weather, is it obviously more efficient to either...
a) drive with the windows closed and the air-conditioning on
b) drive with the front windows down?
I am curious about this - I'll admit to preferring windows up and air-conditioning on (close to "LO") as the music I like to listen to is pretty embarrassing and I'd not want to inflict it on anyone else.
However, if it's obviously more efficient to drive around with the windows down (I guess fully or partially also makes a difference) then I might change my ways. I accept it might be a divvie question that everyone else knows the answer to... but wondered if it was a sure thing or open to debate.
Also, I know I could scientifically test this... but my digital range thingie seems to have a mind of its own... often it goes down drastically, often it stays at the same number for ages and, sometimes, while I'm driving along, it even goes up! I like it when it goes up...
