Grand Financial Experiment #3: Saving Gas: Windows Down or A/C On? (Part 2)
Author: Nick
Category: Money

Course #2: A 40-MPH Drive Around the Neighborhood
Windows Down, A/C Off: 31 miles per gallon
A/C On, Windows Up: 28 miles per gallon
Driving with the windows down still has the edge on air conditioning, but the gap appears to be narrowing. We’ll settle the debate once and for all when I take to the interstate in the exciting conclusion to this experiment.

Just like when you’re out applying for a new credit card or a car loan, your application for a home mortgage loan will appear on your credit reports.
