With many Alabama drivers looking to save, AAA is debunking some common gas-saving misconceptions.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - While the price of crude oil has dropped, the average cost of gasoline in Alabama still hovers at over $4 a gallon.You may have heard cutting off your car’s air conditioning and rolling down the windows can help you save on gasoline, but Clay Ingram with AAA Alabama said it only works on occasion.“If you’re driving faster than 35 mph, and have the windows down, then the drag that you’re creating, actually does cause your gas mileage to decrease,” Ingram said.
“There’s not enough of a difference in that extra little bit of weight to really affect your miles per gallon,” he said. “That’s not true either,” he said. “We’re basically still buying the same amount of gas, and that’s the most important part of that equation is how much gas we buy.”
