1) altering the road load at any given throttle setting can cause the engine to perform at a less efficient manner.
2) Unless the engine is loaded ( through gear-matching), it will operate at this diminished efficiency.
3) You could lower drag by 30% and you'd never know it.
4) It's the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine which is called into question.
Just sayin'
