I'm giving up on the Airtabs...seems they are not likely to work on a car? Might make my own VGs that would have less wind resistance and possibly some mpg benefit.

* Has anyone tested AC vs windows down?

* Has anyone tested these?

My experience with the ZX3 in warm weather is that without AC...you'd want about all the air coming in the windows you could get to make it habitable.

The wind deflectors keep most air OUT of the car ...though with the windows cracked you might see more flow into the vents?

Might be possible to trim...say the lower end of the wind deflector to allow some air flow into the car with the windows all the way down?
