Do we have images of all those? I've never seen a teardrop trailer that was actually a 'teardrop'.
The highest mpg I've recorded with my truck was when pulling my gap-filled, full-boat-tail trailer.I was 1,300 lbs heavier than stock and recorded 22% better mpg than the best ever recorded without it.(47.9 vs 39 mpg).
Photos of your rigs would really help peel back the veil of mystery.
