I am assuming all of you are retired like Paul and have nothing more
productive to do than sprinkle meaningless data on a graph down to
1/1000th of a second.

If you would pull your head out of the place where the sun don't shine
for a few seconds you would realize the utility of what we are
doing here. Particularly those people like yourself that make
a living from testing cars. With nothing more than a cable
and a note book computer you can determine the total drag on
any car in just a few seconds on public roads. Beats hauling
around a lot of bulky test equipment. You need to carry a PC
notebook computer for your profession anyway.

I would like to know the drag on a Toyota Prius(s?) for example. Not all
the MPG comes from the hybrid feature. Much of the improvement
comes from the rock hard tires and lower aerodynamic drag.

Ultimately once we know the total drag as a function of MPH
we can then determine the efficiency of the engine and power
train just as quickly. AKA MPG for you magazine types :)

(Not to get upset with the language folks. ds and I go back 35 years.)

Paul, take a look at the site. He has some spread sheets set up in his
downloads link.

I am downloading his CAN software demo.
Have not found the spread sheet yet.
