I respectfully disagree. Everything that I've read (which has been a lot) has provided that speeds as low as 25 mph can effect efficiency.

You're right in thinking that 35-40 mph makes more of a difference than 25 mph, of course. However, it is at this lower speed that we begin to see aerodynamics at play.
