I read somewhere its like carrying another passenger - not the end of the world on days like today but when its not needed I always put mine on ECON.

I always put the air con on rather then drive with the windows down at a higher speed - the wind noise does my head in!
However, like the above, I usually have it on ECON and only use air con when its a really hot day, or when I have the kids in the car.

Same as myself, use it on Econ most of the time unless its a very hot day!

Aircon is better for fuel consumption than leaving the windows open :happy2:
If anyone watches mythbusters they tested it thoroughly and aircon won :wink:
