Well, I too read that the increased drag of windows down (all available, mind you) is actually worse than having the AC on.
I would have played with that theory some more this summer myself, but near the end the stupid gas prices curtailed my "benchmark" run to my in-laws in Garson and back again. I like these trips as I tend to get pizza for supper more often than not :P
Seriously... I know my gas mileage isn't much better than in the winter when I have all the windows down as we're cruising down the Trans Can. I'd test with the AC too... but the damn SPI has no balls whatsoever in that scenario. There's just too many hills between NB and Suds to chance not passing something.
