*for talking points,let's say she turned out averaging 26-mpg.
*to get to 40-mpg with strictly aero would require an 89.6% drag reduction,ending up with Cd 0.0362 (if you were starting with around Cd 0.35).
*Cd 0.10 would be considered the lower limit for a road car and it would have to be electric,with no openings in the body.
*basjoos is looking at Cd 0.17 with his AeroCivic.If you haven't seen it yet,check it out.It'll give an idea what 0.17 would require.
*to go below you'd want to look at something like CUER
