That whole article is full of FUD and straw men. Don't waste your time reading it.

AC vs windows - didn't test with windows up and AC off.
DFCO - already covered
reduce weight - obvious
inflate tires - obvious
roof rack - obvious
engine off at stops - looks like a sales pitch for hybrids that do it for you
convertible top up - obvious, but how many people drive convertibles?
