RE: windows up or down?
Are you kidding?!? Here in Texas, we have four seasons - Not summer yet, summer, still summer, and Christmas!
I do drive a little with the windows down, but it gets hot pretty quickly and I roll 'em up and put the air on max. I usually have the music on loud anyway, and I'm stock, so I usually don't hear much except at WOT.

My windows are down 99.9% of the time!! I love driving with my windows down.. The loudmouths, the wind... Justfeels like summer...Even if it's smokin' HOT.. I will run the A/C with the windows down!! I'll even drive to worksome mornings with the heater on and the windows down!! Gotta love Michigan weather!! Maybe I'm just a crazy??

RE: windows up or down?
i did a similar test of that driving along PCH once. I'd reset the mpg on the computer and once it stabilized I lowered the windows. It would drop about one mpg. It would tend to do this at speeds over 40mph.
This was versus just the fan on. Driving along the coast you really won't be needing A/C!
Unless it's unusually hot I rarely use the A/C.

My windows are always dirty because i usually roll them down when accelerating then put them up when im at high speeds on the highway. Around town i usually keep em down . Usually just the drivers side though with the side exhaust like three feet from my head its a completely different expierence its crazy loud for the driver i love it!!!
I got my tint put on 3 weeks ago but i didnt have moleskins on yet so i was scared to roll them down it was killing me ! finally got them on and rolled it down

Windows down for now, when summer hits and its 95+ degrees I may have to turn on the A/C. Oh and when I hit the freeway I have to roll up the drivers window halfway because my seatbelt flutters in the wind. [X(]fd
