Lol...I only use mine on 108+ days. Thought thats the expedition I drive while my cars down, it sucks gas so I avoid the A/C. Also the foreno isn't as bearable on the hot days as its soo low to the black hot ground and my cars black.

Man I must be the only one who watched Myth Buster's, didn't you guys hear that using the A/C saves you more gas then it does with the windows down.

Depends on the driving habits and car, didnt they use a small SUV?

I know in my expedition the windows down on road trips sucks tons more gas than with the a/c running full blast in front and rear. But in medium-heavy city traffic is allot better with the windows down, esp if you just crack them.

Now I haven't playied with that idea much with the foreno but I'd imagine with my driving habbits with it (redlining it 50x a day isn't uncommon) I'd imagine the windows down are best.

If your looking for saving gas, no power acceserys (Save the rtadio. Its usage is so marginal. Note: Stock head, not massive system) windows up, no AC. This is your gas saver.

General rule of thumb is, if its over 50... 55 A/C. Below, go with windows down.
Also, with how inadequate the AC is stock, windows may be more effective

Not for AZ! I dont turn the a/c on till over like 100 depending on the day, but most kids it's probably 80. Hell at 55 I crack one window and it's cool!.

I dont know how allot of you are unhappy with the a/c, I've got grounds and the a/c upgrade and my a/c isn't any worst or better than the other cars in the family. Hell it keeps me cool at 120degrees
