Been watching the instant MPG while approaching other vehicles on the highway. Every other vehicle I've done this with, I always noticed a slight rise in MPGs when in the turbulent draft. This car, it seems to go the other direction, and picks back up after passing the other vehicle. Granted, I haven't tried any 2" off the bumper NASCAR drafting or anything, but interesting how this car pokes its way through the atmosphere.
Oh my god I've never been in a car that's been so affected by the air around it. Nasty headwind? Front end likes to wiggle around. Not even sure what passed me; not a semi truck or bus or anything, but just an SUV I think...the buffet I felt from it passing me scared the shit out me.
