Just divide the wH/h (i.e. w) with mph and you get wH/mile, then divide by driveline efficience, I get 367wH/mile for Cd 0.32 and 273wH/mile for cd 0.22.
The ratio is 1.34 so 50 miles should turn into about 67 miles of range.

Only 17 more miles from such a drastic reduction in drag ? Wow.
That's not even worth the effort !
I read a thread on the MyLeaf forums where the guy added a grille block and front spats on the tires and got " around 18 miles extra range ".
I had my doubts, but knew that aero was really important for EVS.
I had my hopes up that there was this huge difference from ICE cars that made this possible.
Bummer.
