He referenced a 2004 study by the Society of Automative Engineers (SAE) which looked at the impact of both. In the study, it discovered the aerodynamics of the different cars and how long someone might use the air conditioning.

Harriet Pudney is a beauty aficionado and former Stuff journalist who lives in Melbourne. Fashion is one of those industries many people are comfortable dismissing as frivolous, unserious, not worthy of real respect or regard.
