Looks like 90 day attrition is happening to a few teams and Team 'Yoda has fallen behind VW again. We need to get some of the high mileage diesels back.
Absolutley nothing wrong with aero and hypermileing. It's just that with better aero I can return to driving on major highways and not take the additional FE hit for higher speeds. Most of the hypermiling will remain because they are now learned habits that won't go away. I haven't used my cruise control in months and better aero would allow the return of cruise control to the fold.
