I’m not trying to be smart, I just wonder how such minute changes translate to mpg’s.
* Yes ,the values imply a 50% reduction from losing one.
* Right! With a Cd 0.80 JEEP CJ from the early 70s, you're not going to see any remarkable difference. Volkswagen's XL1 would be a different tune.
* A good reason to noodle on a vehicle-specific basis.
* I'm a big ' safety first' advocate, and personally, will suffer higher drag for the sake of good situational awareness.
