Correct answer

  • Aaumenta el consumo de carburante.increases fuel consumption.
Explanation

With the windows down, the vehicle's aerodynamics get worse: air resistance increases, the engine has to work harder and uses more fuel, especially at high speeds. To ventilate the inside of the vehicle, it is better to use the vehicle's own ventilation system.
