Fuel Economy Tip - Keep Your Sunroof Screen Closed
June 16th, 2006 | by Brian Carr |Today’s tip will hopefully help you save a little bit of gas and, at the very least, help keep your car a little less hot during the bright, sunny summer days.
Keep your sunroof “screen” closed.
As I write this the actual name for what I’m trying to describe is escaping me (although I’m sure one of my faithful readers will point it out in the comments section). But, for most car’s with a sunroof, there is the actual glass sunroof and then there is the section in the interior of the car that you can slide back to allow sunlight to enter.
That’s the part that I’m telling you to keep closed.
Keeping this section open will cause your car to heat up even faster, and will negate the work your air conditioning is doing, essentially causing you to waste gas.
So, go ahead and keep your sunroof “screen” closed, and you should be able to help keep your car a little bit cooler.
