For a highway test it's not about the horsepower rating of your engine,
it's how much power you need to get down the road at 55 mph (or whatever
Is the drag coefficient based on an over-all model and size or is it just a
measurement of the efficiency of the car being tested. In other words would
a large SUV that had a drag coefficient of say -0.50 have the same efficiency
as a Vet that also had a -0.50? Or is the larger vehicle still going to push
more air and therefore require more energy?
