Nah hes right. See its because you drive a bmw, its able to actually defy the rules of physics. :roll:

oh shit I forgot it was a bmw, dam magic german engineering that defys physics

My aircon makes the revs jump 200rpm and if I give the power steering a twist it jumps 300 odd.

You should get a beema then.

im sure mine gives it another 500-1000rpm hahah

i bet if i had a beemer, having the aircon on would actually save fuel and possibly reduce the effects of cancer and general devestation throughout the world.

either way it doesn't affect me .... so it doesn't bother me ... hah

Haha, no better way to save yourself looking like an idiot than to say that you don't care... :lol:

The thing is i don't actually care if i look like an idiot, happens most the time in real life.

no, not really, but it seems you believe most the things you read

by **aliluya** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 4:01 pm

yeah some times ...

and after more research i got the full facts.

The many articles that i search up said that it uses less petrol to use AC while driving on the motorway than it is to drive with the windows down.

Shut your Windows.
Shutting all your car windows while driving will make your car more aerodynamic. This will improve your car's fuel efficiency. Driving with them open drastically reduces your fuel efficiency, far more so than putting the air conditioning on when motorway driving. An open window can increase fuel consumption by up to 20 per cent. For a person who spends RM100 a week on petrol, 20% savings could mean saving RM20 a week, which adds up to RM80 a month. That is money one could pay towards his/her bond or be money saved for a rainy day.

Ummm Duh.

Re-read that tip, its $&#$% stupid. "Money saved could be used to go back to school and study basic physics"

Haha, really? Did Cozmo write the article?

oh come on, how was that called for

i know that aircon runs off the powersteering, so SHUTTUP.

A/C runs off the power steering...??

I dont think thats right

At highway speeds etc, you're often better off using the aircon every so often and leaving all windows up.... open window = turbulence

Also kids if you want to save petrol... remove roofracks unless actually in use... chew up extra gas too

"Petrol prices" vs "Air conditioning"

Can you afford to use your air conditioning?
