I wish that the Mythbusters had gathered some useful data before they aired that episode, and so do they. There was such a negative backlash from it that they revisited it later that same season with a much more correct and accurate test and totally debunked their earlier findings. They found what logic tells one one is true: That the a/c causes more of a negative effect on fuel economy in any vehicle and at any speed than having the windows down.

For some reason it seems that most Netizens managed to see that first, incorrect episode but somehow managed to miss the second, corrective one.
