I saw this on the show mythbusters. They drove a big SUV, with all the windows down, and the sunroof open, against the same SUV with the A/C on. It takes much less fuel to drive with all windows down, I think they got like 30 more laps (on a race car track), which is quite a long way. I would imagine the results would be the same for a convertible.

Top down uses more gas, unless you're driving below 25 mph. Aerodynamics make a vast difference, whereas a/c doesn't use all that much power these days.

A/C. The roof protects you from UV rays, besides as eliminates the humidity. also, the accurate up is an straightforward deterent to thieves who loaf round close to site visitors light fixtures waiting for his or her chance to snag issues out of your open automobile (and, sure, this does ensue).
