its all how i'm feeling i spoze. if i'm in the right mood i might start out with all windows down & sunroof open and when i hit 35mph i roll the back windows up, and when i hit like 55 i will roll up the front windows. when i hit 70 i will usually close the sunroof or leave it cracked when i hit 80 i will close the sunroof all together and put it on cruise mode

ha ha... okay, it seems we all like to enjoy our nice quiet interiors most, if not all, of the time. I guess we'll never know with the LS whether driving with window down will help during low mph.

Sometimes at lower speeds (and when it's not rush hour with excess exhaust and loud garbage music) I enjoy having the windows down and moonroof open to get some spring/sumemr/fall air. Feels like freedom after our freezing winters!
I usually have them up at higher speeds. As mentioned earlier the dust and grit adds up after a while also. I think fuel economy difference may be negligible and comfort is the main concern

oh yeah,, about fuel economy though the last 5 years or so of owning a v8 lex-i i have always noticed a spike in mpg's right around fall. i heard they put some additive in the gas in the winter time and always just dismissed the added mpg's as such. but yeah i usually notice about 40-50 miles more per tank around fall.

That's it?
Actually, I should try my windows to see if they still go down. Back when Parkway was coins and tokens, you had to crack the window open every so often, nowadays with EZPass, you don't even have to slow down...
