I have asked everybody I know, and no one has given me a logical answer. I want to cool the passenger compartment of my car as efficiently as possible. Do you get better gas mileage (all factors being equal) by using the 260 method (two windows rolled down, driving 60 mph) or by using the Mary car's air conditioner? RAY: Great question, Mary! As a matter of fact, the Society of Automotive Engineers has wasted some of its valuable time studying this very dilemma. The answer is that you get better mileage by rolling up the windows and using the air conditioner. TOM: The reason has to do with aerodynamics. The more aerodynamic your car is, the less wind resistance it creates. Wind resistance makes the engine work har- der and therefore wastes fuel. That's why you're seeing new cars being shaped more and more like what medical science has always known is the most aerodynamic of shapes: the suppository. RAY: Anyway, when your windows are all rolled up, wind slides around your car. That's when it's most aerodynamic. When you roll your windows down, wind comes inside the car, blows against the seats, the passengers and the back window and generally makes the engine work harder. TOM: And, according to the studies, you waste more energy through the loss of aerodynamics than you do through powering an air conditioner. RAY: We also prefer the air conditioner to the window method because it also allows you to arrive at your destination without looking like my brother before his hairsta- AUTOS QCfl OOU 1991 STYLUS wind-resista- of SALE ABSOLUTELY Bonus Vacations Offered with Every Hew or Used Vehicle Purchase! Dear Tom and Ray: I currently own a 1986 Volvo 240. I am pleased with my car, but I'd like my next car to have more pep. I am considering the Volvo 740 GLE with the multi-valv- e engine. Vacation Packaaes Include: Robert What do you think? RAY: Well, almost anything you buy will have more pep than a Volvo 240. But if you've been happy with your Volvo, the 740 GLE with the engine should be a great choice. TOM: We were going to suggest you step all the way up to the Volvo 760, but we're afraid that might provide too much excitement for you. We'll save that suggestion for the next time you write to us. That'll be in about four years when you tell us you want something with more pep than your 1990 740 GLE.

It's efficiency of pop-u- p easy to see how they improve aerodynamics and fuel efficiency during the day when they're hidden. But don't they do twice as much damage at night when they bafcreate two huge fles in the front of the car?
