We worked it out by accelerating and coasting down on a road with known profile using a manufacturers data and resources for it (GM/OPEL).

We were mainly after the torque, but the rest was a by-product. Interesting note back then: Your tires' losses can quadruple above the speed they were designed to.

It was 40 deg F then. That's why I mounted the hardtop.
