a conventional versus cabover is about as good as it gets...and even then, the only noticable thing, not even fuel mileage, was cross winds are gentler in the long nose (or known as "conventional", beciause conventuional is that obviously "normal", caboivers are a cheat to poor basturds tortured to drive them by capitalism.). It is a case of set power so beyond the quibbling of aerodynamics of vehicles just roaming the earth like giant dinosaurs in superiority..god didn't give a dinosaur a ricer wing either.

I have been around trucking my whole life, and in places that knock a rig over in the wind. Keep your silly areodynamics, and better make it steel. there ius a forward aero of conveneince and comfort, for driver and surrounding machines..the fule? it does so next to nothing through these changes...the aero is for people more than the truck.
