EPA Cds

I went over the entire paper Sunday.I'm glad for the frontal areas,as they were provided by the manufacturers.
The actual road loads were given from EPA coastdown testing and seem realistic.
Some of the Cds I've never had,but of the ones I do have,compared to the EPA estimated Cds,the EPA's are high.
An example would be Corvette,which EPA assigns Cd 0.70,vs Cd 0.50,from GM.
As time permits,I'll do more comparisons.
