Not all of us at that other site agree, either. We've been over this same ground there as well.
I'd be driving an Aerocivic too if my commute had the speeds to make it worthwhile. Only one stretch of my drive is 55 mph, with most of it lower. Aerodynamics aren't nearly the issue at those speeds - at my average 35 mph rolling speed, aero drag is 1/4 as much as Basjoos sees at 70 mph. It's just not worth a lot of effort for the minimal return, in my case. I applaud those who do it and get results.
