Note though the gauge that got me the above numbers was later calibrated against a similar car - they were about 10% high. Still very decent though.


The 2002 Camry drag coefficient is supposedly 0.28. That's decent.
The other beauty is in 2 weeks I'm starting a new job, 10 miles closer to home, and instead of the interstate where driving 75 puts you at risk of getting run down, it makes more sense to take the 55 mph county road, and hardly anybody uses it despite it being nice blacktop.
