Default Do you see a savings in fuel?

  They say it's not true, that it doesn't work to leave your windows rolled down in your car on a hot summers day when you're driving to save on fuel instead of using your AC. And I have heard the same for putting your tail gate down on a pickup truck.

Is it true if you keep your speed constant and drive 55 instead of 65 in your coach. It saves fuel and will save you money?

Yes, at 65 I get less than 9mpg, at 55 I've clocked 9.7mpg.
