OK, I'm too lazy to do it myself, but there is an equation for calculating road loads and such. It would take a much larger drag reduction to give a certain fe increase ie. 20% Cd reduce does not equal 20% fe increase- it would be something like, 20% Cd reduction gives 2% fe increase. This whole thing is ridiculous.
