Only with the windows UP. Windows down= more drag= less MPG.

As previoulsy stated, the test was between driving with the AC on and Windows up, and AC off and windows down...

Driving with the AC on and the Windows down would be idiocy...

Oh, and I didnt know Chi-town (Chicago?) was in Milwaukee... interesting...

Or is Chi-town a reference to your old moniker, Chicane?

Down to wichita falls where i used to live, to meet some friends and head to dallas for a computer convention. It'll be nice to visit texas again leaving from tom's on sunday morning to drive down, stay until the following sunday, when i'm gonna start the drive back. Any svx's in that area? i'll have a freshly installed 5speed in my 94

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!
