Fan still running killing battery? UPDATE

[smithma7 at yahoo.com (Mike Smith)]

Yeah, if I'm going <60 then I tend to keep the window down.  But if more, then I'll roll it up as needed.  If >75 then I tend to keep it up all the way.  Then I listen to classic rock like Richard Simmons:  sweatin' to the oldies.  LOL.  Of course, I could stand to sweat a few pounds off anyway and my AC doesn't work worth a crap anyway.
 
One thing I've noticed:  with the windows up, I drive till I can stand the heat no more, then slow down and crack the windows about halfway and the air feels sooooo cool coming in.  Almost like AC.  :)
 
Imagine FL 100 years ago... no AC period.  :)

On our roccos, it seems the A/C sucks a lot of fuel.  But on my Vr6 at highway speed it is much more efficient with the A/C on than with the window open.
