Lots of other factors also go into a car's effective gas efficiency.
For example, when its hot out, do you run the A/C or roll down the
window.  Sorry for my unscientific quasi-facts, but I remember reading
a report that said at lower speeds (around 35-40 mph) it was more
efficient to run with the windows down, but up around highway speeds,
the drag caused by the open windows was much more fuel-hoggy than
running your A/C compressor.  What this has to do with the original
thread, I don't know...
