Video: Fuel Economy Decrease with Opened Windows
It's a timeless question. Is it more fuel efficient to run air conditioning in a car on the highway, of have the windows open at speed? Well I don't have air conditioning in my car, but amazingly the Geo comes standard with opening windows!
See how much of a fuel economy loss occurs with opened windows at 50 miles per hour (I apologize in advance about my hyperness in the video): [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/v/eFFiDVQBfwI[/youtube] Feel free to discuss. |
LMAO@ the end!
"What the bloody hell?!?!?" It seems that if you're going to open one window, you might as well open both. I have a sedan and I would like to test all 4 down. |
I've noticed no significant difference in coastdown tests with windows up vs. down.
Kinda surprising, but you can't really argue with the numbers... |
I'd like to see a repeat of the experiment. Being passed by a few big cars can make a difference and really throw off the results.

Something like 200 hits a day (and usually a comment every day or two). I've thought about finding a ScanGauge again and redoing the experiment with my dad's Intrepid just to tie up some loose ends with the idea. |
