Gas-Saving Moment of the Day: Forget Tilt-Up Mode on the Moonroof

We’ve written before about the drag created by opening the moonroof, but at least that’s preferable to using the tilt-up mode.

Be assured the gas-savings you’ll get from never using the tilt-up mode are Minimal, with a capital “M.” However, it makes us question what really is the purpose of moonroofs’ tilt-up mode. It doesn’t add a cool, refreshing breeze inside the car, it’s obnoxiously noisy, and our staff felt overwhelmingly indifferent to its existence.

This begs the question: Why does tilt-up mode even exist? Simply to create unnecessary drag that burns more fuel? For smokers?

Let us know if you do use the tilt-up option regularly and, if so, why?
