Oh, and as for the coefficient of drag thing. Definatley having the mpguino calculate this would be cool, but you would have to run several tests on the same stretch of road, and the longer the mph coast-down the better. It would give a larger sampling of data. Instead of it took 1 second to coast from 55-50, it took 9.26849 seconds to coast from 55-10. Given the same road stretch with same gradient, same weight, same tire pressure, ect. ect. ect. Gotta try to make it the closest apples to apples within reason.
