This is from the opening post: "At highway speeds regarding mpg, in a full upright ride posture and at what point is a windscreen too big for mpg improvement?"

Your above IHPAVA reference is not likely highway speeds related, nor an upright position, nor sustainable for long in most cases being it's a crouched riding position behind a windscreen or maybe an obscure fairing.

I think this whole discussion should not lose sight of the "measurable vs significant" symmetry here.
