With the two last tanks, driven with rear wheel skirts :

The skirts do help in coasting duration. On some small down slopes before I was loosing a little speed and now I gain a little speed. The skirts change the feeling of the car so much that I'm accelerating too fast and often drive over my max speed.
While I was improving by 4%/tank without the skirts, I'm improving by 5.5%/tank with the skirts, ie a +33% improvement in the improvement
