3:00 on when to open your car windows

Average vehicle has a CdA of 0.6, so only ~11kW or 14hp used to overcome aerodynamic drag for the average car at 100kph

Average vehicle AC units consume 1.5kW - 3.0kW (2 - 4hp). 1.5kW / 2hp costs the equivalent of adding 0.11CdA at 100kph

The higher the speed, the greater the CdA hit of opening windows
