Hi! I'm Brian a mechanic at Rony's Car Pros in Culver City, California. I am here on behalf of Expert Village to talk to you about fuel efficiency. Air conditioning can use from 10 to 20 percent of your fuel efficiency. So when you are on the freeway and you are cruising, roll your windows up. This will make your car even more aerodynamic but it will also save on gas. When you are in bumper to bumper traffic, roll the windows down and turn the air conditioner on off and fan off. This will keep your car cool when in traffic and save on gas.
