If you want to measure your CdA, coastdown testing is probably the best way to do it. Here's an instructable: Measure the drag coefficient of your car

Also, here's an academic project that aspired to analyze fuel consumption, vehicle speed, and GPS data to spit out aero drag, rolling resistance, and engine efficiency. Sadly, nothing ever came of it, and we haven't heard from the author since spring.
