With gas prices so high, everybody seems to be making changes to their driving routines. Some people just don't drive as often, others try and implement tricks to save gas. So I want to know, with gas prices the way they are currently, are you more likely to use your Air Conditioning, or roll down your windows?

b/c driving is music time which usuallu requires windows closed.
also my commute happens over 65mph which is also windows closed
but around town doing errands, windows are down, especially for flirting purposes

On really hot days, Ill use the AC, but I prefer fresh air. At
least here in Montana you can breath the air. (Unless we are having
forest fires! LOL)

Allergies sometimes make it a must to use a/c, unfortunately.

I have always rolled down the windows to make it easier on the engine. Except for long highway trips, because the wind can get to be too much. But that's not really a problem anymore.

Unless it's so humid I can't breath I usually roll down the windows. In NJ the summer is so short I want to take every chance I can to feel that warm breeze against my face!

The drag of the open windows offset any gas savings you might think your seeing by not using your air conditioner. Also, you will be much more alert in this heat and humidity and less likely to fall asleep or have a accident due to slow reaction.

When I can get away with it, comes from driving a car with no AC for so long. It was that or die. But I enjoy feeling the wind, then I don't feel like I'm in a box as much.
