i remember in one of the mythbusters episodes they tested drafting(wind resistance) on a car and how it affected fuel efficiency. wind resistance does make a big difference.
"Going beyond the speculative mathematics of fluid dynamics equations, the Mythbusters demonstrated the principle scientifically in episode #80, confirming the improvements to fuel economy. Using a NASA wind tunnel, the Mythbusters used scale models to demonstrate wind resistance was reduced up to 93% (with a dangerously close simulation of a ten foot following distance). Following the wind tunnel experiment, the Mythbusters hooked a computer directly to the fuel injectors and tailed a truck in a controlled environment, demonstrating gains of 20-40% in fuel efficiency"

The number of people complaining in this topic about the ease of use of nagios shows that nagios is lacking. Trying to figure out nagios is a waste of time when there are so many alternatives out there that are much easier to use. i.e. cacti(mostly for graphing, but can be used for alerts using plugins), pandora FMS, groundworks, sitescope, the Dude.
