Air conditioning is an interesting topic. It does use a small
additional amount of fuel, but in a car, that additional amount is
smaller than would be caused by the increased drag when the windows are
opened.

Got a reference for that?

Bruce seems to be the sort of person dumb enough to fall for that rather
ancient open window rubbish. An open window may well cost more fuel at 70mph
than air con. I suspect the same however is not true when stationary in
a traffic jam or any in town traffic speed.
