There seems to never be any forward obstruction at this speed...

jimepting,
The question I have, is on the Interstate, how do you pick a time when others will not try to pass you in the other lane??
In Wisconsin, we have I-94 within about 10 miles of the house, but there is so much traffic there, AND there is always someone who is going 70 or 75 that will cause air turbulence for your aero testing.
I agree that driving faster is better to measure the affect of the aero mod, but can't figure out how to accomplish this without doing it late at night on the Interstate.
Jim.
