Aerohead, somehow I had not seen your response. I will wait for my girlfriend to come over, ask her how to determine the angles, and like I do far too often, groan in exasperation, and then she will laugh at me.

Beluga and Aerohead, I apologize for not using words like a big boy, but as usual, like right now, I really needed to be doing something else, so I hoped that you guys could figure out what I intended. Beluga, instead of building a giant boat tail, I bought a Civic HX, and went from twenty-seven to forty-seven MPG.

Aerohead, how come the sharp angles that do not follow the template are inherently more aerodynamic? It looks like the earlier and the sharper the taper, the better.

Would completely removing a truck bed be more aerodynamic than building an aerocap?
