I can imagine aerodynamic and skin friction drag, but what is constant drag?

Another thing to watch is the road slope.

I'm now on board with level, no up or downgrade is going to be constant.
The only locations I'm aware of that might get to 1 in 1000 slope would be the salt flats in Utah and Bolivia.
Wind is another matter -- maybe a fixed course between two weather stations?
