It is all also relevant if one wants an indication of the aero performance of the streamlining.
That's what I've been using as a benchmark, mostly. I've added about 20mph of usable top end speed, going from a 65mph practical top speed to 85mph which is about 30% increase. the fuel economy has increased the same if not more, I was getting 70-80mpg stock, now I'm getting 95-110.
