OK, I see that that it's not a true constant... sort of.

So, how about something like:

speed_loss = calc_speed^2 * 0.0015

For 45mph calculated speed, the actual estimated speed is ~42mph
For 60mph calculated speed, the actual estimated speed is ~53mph
For 100mph calculated speed, the actual estimated speed is ~85mph
For 140mph calculated speed, the actual estimated speed is ~111mph

Again, I want this to be just a rough estimation. Basically, I'm trying to develop a formula based on some calculated vs actual speeds from different existing setups. I know, kinda working backwards.
