I haven't read the whole thread, but I have seen many aero projects and seen some crazy mileage competitions that don't prove much or result in any practical innovations.
I picked the Vetter contest back in the day because you have to be legal and ride on the street, in traffic, in the wind, whatever.
One of our college clubs was in an SAE contest with lawnmower engines and they coasted around in parking lots at 15 mph, then bragged about getting 800 mpg. Who cares?
