Fuel Efficiency and the Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

I thought I saw a mythbusters episode that tried to see if you get better mileage with a/c or window down. Believe that the one w/ a/c ran out of fuel faster than the one with window down but I could be wrong since it's been a while since I've seen it.

But all it really proved was that for those vehicules (they were SUVs) ith those conditions, the windows down were more efficient than AC. I would not extrapolate to all cars. And there is a comfort thing too. windows down at 100kmh is really no fun.
