<VV> Better mileage with top down

[J R Read]

Further consideration leads me to think that Yenko Style flaps would be the 
answer to better "pressurization" of the engine compartment since this would 
still provide a seal at the deck lid to body area VS opening the (entire) 
lid at the front edge.

I suppose that testing of both methods would be needed to confirm which way 
is best.

If I did not loose track of the "subject line" the test would also need to 
include whether a hotter (I suspect is correct) or a cooler running engine 
provides better gas mileage.

Later, JR
