Does this correlate directly to your Crr???? For instance, for a 2500 pound car, with a Crr of about .008, at 35mph, my math comes back with about 2 horsepower rolling resistance.

which by my math says you should get about 90 mpg if your drag is identical.

Do you really get 90 mpg?
Actually, yes I get quite a bit more than 90mpg during the warmer months.

Lot's of coasting is involved to get these high numbers, but does show what is possible. In these conditions, Crr predominates.
