I also don't use the heater, but instead where gloves and a toque when it's below freezing.

When the windows are fogging I pulse the defroster on as I roll down hills whenever possible.

Some people will call these tactics "not real world". I call it working to save my money and time. I personally don't find it easy to do anything as efficiently as possible.
Wow 30 degress Celcius(86 F)? Thats a cool front down here in TX. People wear jackets on those days! Try having 105 F(or 40 Celcius) and a heat index of 120-130 F(which is what it actually feels like). With 100% humidity, simply rolling down the windows will not work. With that much moisture in the air, the sweat is pouring off of you, even if you were to drive naked! AC is a must!
