Your estimated change in power at 60 MPH will have almost zero effect on 0-60 time, but a measureable effect on highway MPG. And a larger effect on top speed, and acceleration at high speeds.

Thanks for explaining that.
I also used the online tool from this site:
Aerodynamic & rolling resistance, power & MPG calculator - EcoModder.com
I noticed that even though BHP gain is minor, the AERO figure difference is quite significant when you lower CD. So are we sure we are right in saying it will have zero effect on 0-60? Is the AERO figure the most important?
