check out the "aerodynamic streamlining template".It's created so you don't have to guess about anything.Kind of a go-no-go.
You CAN make the curvature MORE gentle although there will be some penalty to drag.
Also,if you sweep the sides in gently,you can gain even more.Mine is good for 13% mpg interstate.
