I did notice something on the drive back, that made me wonder.

When big trucks were passing the other direction the turbulance would often persist much longer than expected, kind of like it cause the flow over the front of the Jeep to cause more turbulance. It could be that the combination of driving somethig that was still an aero-dyanamic disasterpiece though a section of turbulance would cause it to drag the turbulance with it, but it made me wonder if turbulant air would cause even an aero design to create more turbulance, or for that turbulance to persist after the vehicle has cleared the turbulant section.
