Hi,
I have thought about how the bumpers affects the performance of the available power in a car engine. The bumper applies friction to the suspension so the car doesn't jump off a bumpy road. However, that friction will be a sort of energy loss. The questions is: How much energy loss is it at a given car weight and suspension travel pr. time? By how much will that decrease MPG?
