I think I'll place an interlibrary loan request for the article. I'll post what I learn into this thread. I plan to lower my stem, shave the ends of my MTB style handlebars so my hands-distance matches my shoulders-distance, wear non-loose ( but not tight) clothes, and tuck more often. Lots more often for the tuck! 38% and it's free?! Every ecomodder knows what that means.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
