Smitty says; I know we are talking tops up and down here but the windows
open and closed "thing" was also brought up. Myth Busters ran a test which
proves nothing except at the speeds where they did the test. They used two
identical cars. They switched drivers for each segment of the test and ran
that segment over. Both cars, windows open and windows closed. I believe
the tests were run at 70 mph. The car with the windows closed and AC on got
the best mileage by about 2 mpg in all cases. I know, too many variables
here to mean anything to Corvairs with the top down.
