Wow, I knew that air resistance grew exponentially, but I didn't realize that a difference in 10 mph could make such a difference.

I wonder: What if trees were planted along all the highways? Once the trees grow, wouldn't that dramatically reduce wind resistance?

Although that might also reduce the benefits of a tailwind.
