At DARKO, between the two trips worth of testing, as a 'camera', BEV, unibody, with restored belly pan, Spirit would be flirting with Cd 0.1995, without the stinger. This would be the minimum.
Since we had the Gen-III Prius as a blockage-ratio calibration model, there's a reasonable probability that Spirit would have measured Cd 0.1819 for the same configuration at the A2 Wind Tunnel. Lower with the stinger.
Hence, the 39.9-mpg @ 65 mph, and 128 mph according to the race team computer at Bonneville.
