While driving home from work I had to roll down all the windows since I am running on gas fumes until I can get money for gas, and it got me thinking.
In the impending Zompocalypse, A/C or windows? I'm not sure this has ever been covered in zombie survival talks. It's no good to have a heat stroke while you're trying to get away from the undead. I can see the merits of both.
Air conditioning uses up your gas and unless you want to siphon gas from cars after a couple of hours, windows down in the heat is good.
But there are zombies on the loose! I mean, I guess if there weren't that many, it wouldn't matter, you are in a car you can just drive away. But what if there are ass loads of zombies milling about? A/C would be the better choice. You need the protection, however limited, that the windows would bring.
Also, what about those windows? Tinted or non-tinted? Do you think if they were tinted the zombies would be less likely to attack since they couldn't see you in there?
Personally I think I would keep some jugs of gas handy in the backseat and go with tinted A/C.
windows for sure! it may smell like dead bodies but thats the smell of victory!
ReplyDeleteI can just see you rolling with the top down... "I love the smell of zombies in the morning" lol.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd go with your conclusion -- tinted windows, AC, extra Jerry cans.
ReplyDeletefor the gas usage thing, it depends on how fast you're going. I think on average if it is below 45 MPH, windows down uses less gas than AC, but 45+ AC uses less because the windows being down creates additional drag, which makes the car have to work harder to maintain the speed
