Driving with the windows down and AC off at lower speeds is more fuel efficient. At higher speeds(45+), having the windows down will create more drag and it is more efficient to have the windows up with the AC on.

Can you keep your windows open while the air conditioner is running?
You can keep your windows open with the air conditioner running, but by doing so, you are letting the hot air in, the cold air out, wasting electricity, and causing your electric bill to be higher. If you want your windows open, it would be best to turn off the air conditioner. In a car, it is recommended to leave the windows open for a few minutes for the hot air to escape...then close the windows and enjoy.

Choose the Right Conditioner for Your Hair Type?
Is your hair not behaving the way you would like it to? Try changing up your conditioner. If your hair is weighed down, choose a lighter conditioner. If your hair is frizzy or damaged, you may need a deep-conditioning masque. Conditioner for color-treated hair is not necessary, as conditioner does not have sulfates to begin with. Try conditioning from the ears down to add more volume to your style.

Do I have to shut the windows when I use the dry mode on the air conditioner?
No, you don't have to shut the window, but If by "dry mode" you mean "dehumidify" I would think "yes" - close your windows. Assuming it is more humid outside than inside, leaving your windows open would make running in dry mode non-effective. You would be drying the air inside only to have more humid air come right in the window. A waste of electricity and wear on your unit. I can't see any reason to leave windows open unless your unit is only running on "Fan" to circulate the air.

Yes. But if you try to save gas by turning off the ac and drive with the windows open you will change the aerodynamic properties of the car so that its air resistance is higher and it will therefore use as much (or more) gas as with the ac on (and windows closed).
