I would like a rough estimate using the modified spreadsheet, but I have 2 problems...

I'm sure most of the Kansas City folks around can attest:

The winds are RARELY calm, and 2
Finding a level road that's long enough, is rare

Does anyone else have the same problem?

Perhaps under calm winds, using the same road could produce a constant for testing changes, but not give a true Cd or Crr...

(obs: wind is the lowest in a long time SE @ 8 kts, but across town: SE @ 15 gusting to 22. Hrmf.)
