Do you prefer air conditioners in the car or windows down?

I gotta have a window open in a car unless it's really cold or really hot; then it's AC or heater time.

Actually, if you are moving faster than 40 miles and hour (and some studies have said even slower that this) the drag from open windows actually uses up more gas than having the air on.

In newer cars (most made in the last 20 years) the A/C doesn't use up much gas at all. It's one of those old urban legends.

We have air conditioning and sometimes on really hot days that feels good but other times I enjoy the window down and wind in my hair

Luckily in Seattle, we dont get really HOT weather... So I my car A/C is rolling the windows down!! Plus gas is still high ($3.85 last I checked) and I cant afford to always have A/C on. = (

I'm not one of those people whose hair flows prettily in the wind: I'm the person blinded and strangled by her own luscious locks. Ergo, I really prefer AC. (Also doesn't whack you in the eyes with bugs)

Once mild warmth turns into "who left the gates of hell open" I'm a big fan of the AC. At that point, open windows only serve to circulate the hot.

depends on how hot it is & whether or not i have a hair band to pull my hair back so it doesn't blow in my face while i drive.

It depends on whether the air is oppressive, if it's fresh then I prefer the windows down.

Window down if I'm going slow like in the city. Air conditioning when going fast on a highway.

I prefer convertible, but circumstances only allow me to roll the windows down.

Both. I have the Ac on and the driver's side window cracked. I can hear other cars etc. better that way.

Depends on the temp outside. If it's too hot I want the ac on, but when it's below 80, I'd rather have windows open and get some fresh air.

While I love to have the wind in my hair, I live in South Carolina. Having a window open right now makes it feel like I have the heat on, as the wind keeps the horrible, hot air centered in my car.

I do try to mix it up or keep my AC low so I can get the best fuel economy.

Depends on my mood! And how hot it is. If it's WAY too hot, A/C is necessary! But I really like to have the windows open, I always feel boxed in and out of touch with nature when I'm driving without the windows open D:

My hair just becomes a tangled mess if I ride with the windows down.

I often drive my convertible with the top down AND the A/C on! However, when it's really hot, top UP and A/C all the way.

My eyes get irritated really quick with the air conditioner so I often just put my windows down. Especially when I am listening to a really good song, I want to make sure everyone hears it too

Windows down. Nothing beats fresh air. Also, wind blown hair is fucking sexy!

I think the A/C works better.

I prefer windows, but if I'm going somewhere where my appearance is imperative, I use ac.

I prefer windows down. It's more refreshing. I find the air conditioning too stuffy and I have trouble breathing with it on.
