there is a point where ac is better then windows...i beleave tis at 55mph(close to it) where you get better MPG. caz the hp it takes to run the ac is less then the hp it takes to move the car with windows down...so 54- better MPG with windows down...55+ better with windows up and running the AC...hows that for your head

Actually I think that's a myth... I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the myth busters show proved it wrong.

you are right it was on myth busters....but the myth was that driving when the AC off got you better MPG then with it on....witch they proved that at 55+mph you got better MPG running the AC then having the windows down...:bigthumg: its a pretty good show

altho they i know of 1 thing they didint test right...the finger down the barrel of a gun..they said the myth was the gun would split at the end..but in there test they should it wouldint happen....but that myth is from a very very long time ago..when the barrels of guys where spun....my dad when he was a kid found a rifel in the desert that it happned to it..it was split and kinda looked like a spring...so i guess for then to do the test right they would have to try it with a 100+yr old rifel... lol sorry to get off topic

*back on topic* smoke another 1 lol
