    Run a test: One week fill up your tank and set your tripometer to zero and see how far you go on a tank of gas. Next fillup, do exactly same thing, but ride around with the windows open, no A/C.

    Let us know how you make out.

    I've heard that story for thirty years or more, didn't believe it then and doubt it now. With the new, gutless little pointy-ended 'boxes they call automobiles these days, and tiny Chinese compressers, it might actually be true. Hope I never have to find out!
