Would driving on the motorway with an England flag on the car affect fuel consumption dramatically?
Just noticed lots of cars with them this morning (many with 2 or more) and with the price of fuel could not help wondering.

I think I'd be more worried about it flying off and hitting another vehicle on the motorway.

3-6 mpg per flag I've heard - which sounds about right to me

This flag would cost you every penny and eventually weigh you down to you stop defeated, emotionally drained and tired from life.
