I did note it, and linked to his post, in the OP of this thread. I was unaware of his post at first. When I saw it, I edited this post and also asked the moderators to consider merging the threads, but Metro thought there was enough difference to keep them separate. My OP was mostly interested in expanded detail on the specific drag reductions attained through the box cavity designs. That was not part of what paulu noted.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
