I have no numbers unfortunately ; would be interesting to determine the speed on top of which A/C is more efficient than windows down.
Still, the most efficient is to drive windows up and A/C off, but sometimes it just gets too hot.
Cost 4mpg in the 2002 Indiniti Q45 and 5 mpg in the 1999 Jaguar Vaden Plas.
