- 21:02 21:02, 7 November 2018 diff hist +6 Aurel Persu C'mon, you've GOT to cite a wild claim like that. In any case, that's not how things work. Aero drag is only one of several things consuming fuel in a running automobile, especially one that tops out in the 60~80km/h range. There's rolling resistance from the tyres/axles, the engine's own internal resistance, and any engine-powered accessories just for starters. Besides, 0.8~1.0 divided by 0.28~0.22 doesn't make "4 to 5"; your worst is 2.9x, best is 4.5x... more realistically "2.5 to 4x" at most

Can't guarantee they won't rot, of course, but doubling up lessens the impact of URL halflife, and at least the Jalopnik one should be easier to find in archives if the parent site dies. Also fixing weird paragraph order, sticking Bellyflopper & Dymaxion refs in right place, and contextualising layout vs those of real cars.
