gap vs drag coefficient

I'll try and get a couple of images up which illustrate the impact 'gaps' can have with respect to drag coefficient.
For the stock cars drafting,the cars in solo have Cd 0.315.
For the buses,they have a solo Cd 0.50.
I'm still working on the railroad materials but have been swamped with other duties.
