Ha false logic on several levels. Firstly - frictional losses are small in comparison to aerodynamic drag - which is far greater at the 100 km/hr, which in the end make the conclusion actually far more exciting ! Jones Anyway, Michel - you are being unaccustomedly negative in light of the "French Connection" to Negre... or do you hear rumors that this company may not be on up-and-up ?
