The show Myth busters found that powering your A/C wasted no more gas then if you were to roll down the windows.

What does rolling down your windows vs ac have to do with tint?

When you roll down your windows, you decrease the aerodynamics. Darker tint doesn't decrease the aerodynamics of a car.

Right now I wouldn't worry about it especially if you have had it this way for a while now with no problems. As I said before just do what Lynus said and you will more than likely be okay 99% of the time.

Look up "Formula One" metallic window film.

It rocks... at lighter shades (to the eye) it still blocks more UV rays and heat.

Good stuff.
