Phil can correct me if I'm wrong, but when he said his cold weather aero enhancements didn't really "show up" at the pump until the return of good weather, I believe he was referring to his "previous best" (warm weather) MPG performance, not strictly a before/after comparison in cold conditions.
All else being equal, your absolute MPG will also be higher when the warmer weather returns, but the relative improvement of aerocap vs. open bed should be about the same (at the same testing speed).

This is intuitively what makes sense. I'm curious to see if it holds to be true. If it is, I'm curious what about my design makes it less effective than those of others who've experienced better gains.
Meanwhile - I'm patiently waiting for spring and enjoying the beautiful snow
