[DeTomaso] windows and gas mileage

[LaurieFerrari at aol.com]

In my humble opinion, while MD can report on this for desert  racing, 
something tells me this is actually a question for Ken Green.   He'll give you 
specifics on research for every dimension and size  of window, relevance of weight 
and manufacture of glass, data with one  or two opened, how many millimeters 
opened, and variables for speeds,  all weather conditions and at all elevations 
for travel on  all seven continents.

A question just for MD before he unsubscribes. 

 

Anyone have any educated guesses on the effect on gas mileage of driving

with your windows open? 

 

Anyone have any Cd numbers for a Pantera or a 4-door sedan with the windows

closed and open? 

 

Anyone know how to convert those numbers into gas mileage? 

 

Had a 9 hour drive in the daily driver today with lots of time to wonder

about such important things. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep before getting

a good answer...

 

Thanks!
