this is purely anecdotal, and the weather conditions are all over the place...so take this with a grain of salt.

33 psi, open grille...it took about 4 seconds to coast down from 100 kph to 90 kph
41 psi, open grille...about 6-7 seconds
41 psi, taped grille...10-11 seconds.
I'll take that with a highway dept truck full of salt. No way.
