Julian, while I agree, it may be worth specifying aerodynamic drag, because total drag is both linear (rolling resistance) and exponential (aerodynamic).

aerohead is correct when he writes that at some velocity 1.4% of total drag is cooling, however that includes rolling resistance. Ignoring rolling resistance is essential to get correct numbers.
Quit now while you have a slim chance to save face.
