Well, given all the discussion for years on this website, about streamlined tails, coupled with the OP's reported mileage improvements, what sort of other aero improvements did you have in mind?
After all, that thing hanging off the back is similar to various tractor trailer improvements, such as inflated bags, fairings, etc.. Rounding the front will surely help, too, as with horse trailer vertical semi-cylinder, or per blister mods common to many tractor trailer rigs, etc..
Drafting is commonly known to improve aero efficiency of front and following vehicles, such that if done right, two are better than one, and even the front vehicle benefits vs. no draft vehicle.
So, what aero improvements do you suggest?
