...the same reason that parachutes "work" is why going faster takes more "energy" (HP).
...similarly, air resistance approaches 'solidity' (incompressability), ie: going "faster" requires exponentially more HP as you approach Mach 1.0 at sea level.
...the fact that the FE of four of the cars remained almost linear between 55 and 75 mph means their losses were FAR less than typical.
