If that's the case, the much-dented taxis in Bombay must be returning an amazing "average". :D

Hehe........The dimples on the golf ball are calculated for aerodynamic efficiency. Irregular body dents will increase drag.
Heres another interesting test.

True, All they did was cover the car's body with a "regular" pattern of dimples like on a golf ball and got an 11% increase over the stock car.
Would an 11% difference be explained by other factors like wind direction,etc. or should we really start putting dimples on cars - being FE obsessed as we are (by and large).
Thank god, I got some dents yesterday during rains from a Indica. Is that the reason why built like tank cars give less FE?
