Fuel efficiency. On a modern car[*] it's (IIRC) 3% of drag caused by just
side mirrors.

Except that comment made was referring to the rearview mirror, not the
sideview mirrors.

Studies have shown that the drag caused by the rearview mirror is
significantly less than 3%.


Hmmmm. the studies ere probably funded with a $20 million government
grant too.

More like $100M/%

Makes better numbers.
