[QUOTE="Imshirazy, post: 3009382, member: 574016"] To be quaint AC on means 10% less fuel dedicated to just your car's movement give or take a few percents The reason it doesn't affect you as much on highway is because you don't need the extra gas to accelerate like you do in the city. On the highway, you simply barely press the gas and remain a good 65 mph, but if you press the gas that hard it will take you quite some time to get from 0 - 45 with all the stops etc. Wind resistance on the highway depends on a few things as well, such as the aerodynamics of your car, wind speed and direction, plus opening up a rear window can decrease wind resistance problems, but there's still resistance no matter what [/QUOTE]
