The oft-cited 0.125 figure seems to be a bit of an EcoModder myth. That figure only applies to a scale model of the Ei.

I believe the .186 figure is consistent with its appearance:
Yes,didn't Hucho say that while he was at VW,that they threw a full-scale version in the tunnel and come up with this value?
