BDifficulty 2/5

As an indicative figure, what fuel-consumption increase does IDAE cite when advising against driving with the windows fully open?

Correct answer

Approximately 5%, as an indicative reference.

IDAE cites 5% as an indicative figure in its car-use advice. Fully open windows can increase aerodynamic resistance. This does not mean consumption rises by exactly 5% for every vehicle and situation: the actual effect depends on factors including speed, vehicle and window opening.
