These breakdowns are a bit confusing. More helpful would be a post engine breakdown from 100% This chart would make the average layman think that aero and RR are no big deal. What does standby mean? Idling? Huge savings to be had there, no?

Same thing here but with highway and city.

Post drivetrain according to this from US govt:
City: braking 46% RR 30% Aero 23%
Highway: braking 10% RR 35% aero 55%

Someone care to re-do the numbers from the crankshaft back?
