Will a car get better MPG when freshly waxed?

That is only true if you are going slow enough for laminar flow. If you go fast enough to make the flow turbulant...you want it smooth! I don't want to go through the equations right now to know how fast that would be, but I am sure somebody would.quote:

Well..... to get technical, ye likely need to emulate the golf ball.
Rather than smooth sleek surfaces ye may see a mpg or kpl improvement by having thine conveyance possessing a dimpled surface.
If a dimpled ball of golf can travel further with an X amount of propulsive force than a non-dimpled ball it seems to me the dimpled surface conveys aerodynamic properties to maximize how far yer' critter gan go on X amount of motion lotion.
A ball peen hammer may be the ticket to max mileage.
That or a heckuva' fine hail storm.
thou art welcome.
****, I knew there was a reason I couldn't get it to work!quote:
