Anecdotally: my uncle has been driving an '88 Oldsmobile Cutlass for the last 30 years. I remember riding in that car as a kid, and him giving me an uncle-y lecture about how when your windshield is caked with bugs, you don't want to run the wipers, because it will just smear them all around and make it hard to see. He then demonstrated that to me, something I remember vividly (we stopped at a gas station shortly after to wipe them off with a squeegee). Last summer, driving on that same road by the lake, same time in the early evening, I commented on some of the bugpocalypse stories I had read. He hadn't really thought about it before, but his Cutlass' windshield was dramatically cleaner than the night I remember in the early 90's.
