Nice job punching all those numbers. What formula did you use to calculate the 27.4mpg headwind comparison?

The numbers make me wonder how automakers haven't employed some of these technologies. I've seen the wheel covers, but that's really it. I suppose the simple answer is that some aero changes might seem unsightly - or at least pose a major marketing risk.
