And the data seems to be there in the tables, if it can be teased out. In the Cd column for some of the tests the Cd is shown reduced from 3.42 to 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2.

Haven't figured out how to contact the Dr. to ask questions and for photos of what was done to the Focus. Pitty there wasn't more on that in the dissertation.
A "Lyds Jowsey" is on twitter at @lydsjowesey ... and a Lydia Jowsey, Automotive Engineer, married a Richard Alexander in Sept 2014, a year after this dissertation was completed.

I looked for Lydia Jowsey Alexander briefly on faculty lists and found nothing. But i only barely started and gotta go...

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.
