Re: Holy Crap its hot in SoCal

I'd have to say, Vegas is continuing to outshine"Crumifornia" and it's rising cost of living and rising temperatures.

Re: Holy Crap its hot in SoCal

Actually...

Lowering all your windows increases the average car's coefficient of drag (Cd) by about +0.08. The increase creates an opposing force to your motion and in fact lowers your gas mileage. Because the increase in drag force is then related to the free stream velocity squared, more drag force is created the faster you go. The losses are greater than the losses generated by running your AC. This is why when parked and driving slow it makes more sense from a gas mileage POV to have the windows down. When driving fast (like 80mph) you are better off with the windows up and the AC on. I would be curious to know where the intersection point is in the relationship...that is, the speed where the windows down and the AC on both create the same loss in power/performance.

This is a pretty well known issue and is why most cars have something noted to this effect in the manual.

Sorry for the long winded explanation, but this is what I do for a living...
