If we can reduce lift and reduce drag simultaneously then I am all for it. I do care about lift. Most of the time I drive below the speed limit for optimum mpg. However, there are times when I drive faster here in the wide open, sparcely populated rural west, and like Kachi said, I also drive this car in terribly slick winter road conditions.
