Some more questions here...

Other than the lower engine cover that comes standard on the 7th gen Civic Hybrids here) what other aero mods were done to the Civic Hybrid that can be incorporated into my Civic EX? From what I've read, the 7th gen Civic has a drag coefficient of 0.36 but the same gen hybrid has 0.28. Seems like a lot of possible gain here.

And also, does anyone know of a tool somewhere to calculate the minimum speed of each gear? My Civic seems to shift into final overdrive between 40 and 42, but my tach is broken so I can't verify (one of those things I need to fix when I have time). Is there a way to calculate minimum cruising speed for each gear? Maybe using gear ratios or something? Or is it purely a vehicle by vehicle basis?
