Thanks backpacker3. Do you know, when coasting to a red light or stop sign, would it be more fuel efficient for me to flip to neutral? Or would that not help much in an automatic while I'm still moving? I'm comparing this in my mind to a lesser version of EOC, which I shouldn't do with my automatic.

...And thanks aerohead. I'm back to the template, but I guess that's good, because the template is straightforward. I still find it very interesting, however, that even in the picture of the Golf/Rabbit, the Cd increases, then decreases again beyond a point, where a certain range of kammback angles would actually worsen aero drag compared to my chopped SUV back.
