Does using the air conditioning in your car affect gas mileage?

no myth-busters did a review on it and you use more fuel with windows down then you do using the AC. AC uses the same amount of gas as running with the windows up and ac off At speeds below about 30mph it is better on fuel mileage to drive with the windows down. Above 30, the drag from the open windows makews it more economical to run the ac and roll up the windows.

Make sure that your tires have the same air pressure. Keep the ac low or open the windows if it is not too hot outside. Change your oil and get your car tuned.
