Paper of possible interest to AEROheads

Read this yesterday, and it seemed to address some recent discussions on this list. Thought I would share:

Black and Green will be rebuilt over decades as parts die--until it becomes a different car. Goal is only 60-70 mpg at posted speeds. I'm not trying for highest possible mileage.

Calculators: standard deviation, Ohms Law, & drag HP losses.

Thanks California! The 'close-coupling' is one of the premises for the creation of the full-boat-tail trailer.I'm betting on it.
