Correct answer

  • CAumentará el consumo de carburante.Will increase fuel consumption.
Explanation

Driving with the windows down increases aerodynamic drag and therefore fuel consumption. Use the vehicle's ventilation system to air the inside of the car. Remember that using the air conditioning or climate control increases fuel consumption (set it to about 23 °C).
