I drove my regular commute for the last couple of days with all of my windows completely down and have consistently seen 6-8 more miles of electric range than my normal. No other obvious changes (weather, driving style, HVAC, etc.). I assume it changes the aerodynamics but I would have thought for the worse. Has anybody else seen this? If not, give it a try!

So much for aerodynamics

Wait, so you've been driving with a.c. off and windows up in the same temperature? Or has warmer temps led to you rolling the windows down? It's known that warmth often increases range (up to a point).

The temps have been warm but pretty stable. I normally drive with the driver side window down (and the back passenger cracked to kill the buffeting!) but I just decided to try putting all the windows down.
