My thoughts are running parallel to MetroMpg's. If you can find the Phil Knox aerodynamic photos album in the archives,there are some development photos if the original VW Rabbit,that Hucho was involved with.---- You may find the nose of the Festiva similar to that of the VW,and even though it looks kinda frumpy,it nevertheless has clean attached flow.So your on the way.------------- If you fish around a little more,you'll find photos of the VW's wake.------- I believe this is where your mpg challenge presents itself.--------------- basjoos aerocivic can serve as a standard by which to measure the aft portion of the Festiva,and anything you do to make your car shaped like basjoos' should pay you at the pump.
