At high speeds you actually want less aerodynamics so the car can grip the ground a lot more (so you actually want it to weight a lot at high speeds).

A Hummer w/ aerodynamics that makes it lighter will lose traction at high speeds, which isn't so great, and it is actually local driving that eats tons of gas, not freeway driving.
hahaha.

i see what you are trying to say but you are using the terminology wrong.

imagine is somebody told you, "if you want a louder stereo you need extra voltage waves".

not quite. lol.

the term aerodynamics is a misnomer when used in the context you use it in. a hummer is affected by aerodynamics just the same way anything else traveling through air is. if you were to say "the term aerodynamically efficient and hummer shouldnt be used in the same sentence..."

There's something wrong with the aerodynamics of this thread, because it sucks and blows!

The really important question: what is the average airspeed of an unladen African Sparrow?
