All the cars with a low drag coefficient like to advertise the fact, ie .34, .35 etc. Well, this means something because Madza advertises it on the 626 but not on the GLC. The GLC gets better mileage around town but the 626 gets better mileage on the highway. (According to Transport Canada anyway) Also, what is a bad coefficient, which cars, I have heard that the Porsche 928 is very poor. Where can I get a complete listing for current cars? Also, when thinking about it, it would be interesting comparing these factors to older cars, late 60's early 70's.
