Re: SMVs -Super Mileage Vehicles
Side FX was the little vehicle that caught much interest many years ago.

from the article:
"Shamu is credited with a drag coefficient of 0.15; Side FX, 0.14. Multiply that by their equal 3.8-sq.-ft frontal areas, and you end up with wind resistance roughly 1/20th that of the Civic and Metro"
