I wish the numbers were that nice. Typical FWD cars see 15-20% loss, might be a few at a lower % but none higher(or thats a really sh**ty trans
)
RWD will see about 18-22% loss, a few cars higher loss,
and AWD will lose 25-30%, again a few might be at a higher loss. This is for your typical Auto transmission setup. With a manual transmission you can subtract about 5-10% from those AWD losses, and about 5% from either FWD or RWD with a manual.
