Did you ever find the Cd? I'm guessing it's not that slippery, judging by the shape at the rear.

I did find a number on a German site, .39 -- not great, but it has a pretty small frontal area as it's a tiny car, and it's light. I got between 45 and 50 mpg with it last year running 100% bio. I've replaced the trans now with a custom VW unit with much taller cogs, so I'm hoping for better numbers this year. Still want to do some aero mods, air dam, front pan tray, and eventually four wheel skirts, like this --

But we've got to get it fully sorted first --

Where are you in NY? Sounds like we're in the same neighbourhood. I'm at the extreme east end of the Islands - Brockville ON.

Yeah, I know Brockville well -- Dave Jones Sports, New York Cafe, and a great little military surplus store too! I live on the river at Kring Point, so I'm a little southwest of you, right across from Ironside Island if you know where that is.
