Short answer is yes, running the AC in your car does burn more gas most of the time but not always. At speeds under about 35 MPH, your car will certainly consume more gas running the AC than if you had the windows open.

Short answer is yes, running the AC in your car does burn more gas most of the time but not always. At speeds under about 35 MPH, your car will certainly consume more gas running the AC than if you had the windows open.

Most real prophecies have only a probability of being true depending on what is being prophesied and the likelihood it will occur. I could prophesy that the sun will come up tomorrow and the probability of this being true is very close to 1.

We should not count prophecies that were made after the fact which is done a lot in the Bible or are just stories not based on facts.
