Beaded seat covers help. And I have found that opening the windows a bit 1"-1 1/2" on all four, actually helps the aero at speeds up to say ~50mph. So, I have not replaced the A/C fuse in my xA since last year; and I don't think I have used more than a day or two in the last three years. A little sweat won't kill ya'! Drink cold water or lemonade.

A white roof helps a lot -- this should become an ecomod!
