at the price of fuel its worth nursing

i wonder about those Cd values . you have a pretty low profile and smooth shape. so has mine and its rated .4 Cd .. since they are rated roadster i wonder if that is tested top down, get better mileage [higher top speed too] top up. mine with the smoothline even better ..

heres an aero mod for you , remove the windscreen and wear goggles [hah]

there is some strings here contend that feather footing on acceleration is not the way to get best fuel economy . they say that better can be achieved by a more rapid acceleration , ie: larger throttle application , so as to punch through the high power /low economy zone faster and get to economy cruise pby they are not talking about firewalling the foot feed rather some happy medium between very light and very heavy application on acceleration. if you have ECU to handle it one of those instantaneous FE read outs might help ..engine controle on mine is all operator . old school

check the frontal on my unit , listed at .4 and 17.17
