Default RE: Golf ball dimples

I tried to figure out how to make a real small drag into a 4 seater car, thus going 55 mph at 0,5 gallons / 100 km ( MPH 124 ).

I had roughly drag coefficient 0.17 here. This mean very low and clean body...not very practical for inner city driving.

Dimples would certainly lower the drag.
