The rule of thumb is to keep the windows down while on city streets,
then turn to air conditioning when you hit the freeway. Every car has
a speed at which rolled-down windows cause so much drag as to decrease
fuel economy more than a switched-on AC. , however,
that speed varies widely from car to car.
