I've looked at/admired teardrops whenever I see 'em... but sadly I had to conclude that they are more about style than aero. At least, many of them I've seen seem to have too steep a drop-off at the rear for good flow... so if they have giant trailing wakes across their backsides, one might as well have a cube trailer and enjoy the room.
