Found a weird trick to save on gas last month
I started driving with my windows up and AC off on the highway in Phoenix, and somehow my tank lasted 3 extra days. Has anyone else tried something like this or am I just getting lucky?

Your AC compressor is a huge drag on the engine, so turning it off really does free up some power and saves gas. It's like how I noticed my phone battery lasts way longer when I stop checking social media every five minutes - we just don't see how much little things drain us. That heat in Phoenix must be brutal though, I'd probably end up sweaty and miserable before I saved enough for a full tank.

Actually that phone battery comparison makes a SOLID point about hidden power drains nobody tracks.
