True, it dramatically reduces your drag, but makes your car impractical to use without adapting the tail to open for luggage, etc. Like I said, no offense to those that have - in fact a big 'well done' for being so enthusiastic - but not practical for everyday family use in my opinion.
It may be possible to alter the Insight tail mounting system, to make a cargo area back there!

So the tail extension could be used for good air flow and for storage.

That would make it much more practical.
