a/c uses an extra 10% fuel so drive with your windows down a fraction the drag created would be minimal so more economical also drive in the highest possible gear with out labouring the engine too much

Driving around town is not going to create enough drag to effect your mileage, plus if it's a pleasant day, you can enjoy the fresh air. On the highway at faster speeds you will. The mileage savings, however, aren't that dramatic due to the power it takes for your engine to run air conditioning unit.

Depends on your speed. The faster you go, the more drag is created. Air-con would be better in that case.

Window up, A/C on. Less drag.
