If you will establish the baseline mpg performance of your car at a constant velocity,say 55-mph,after you mod the car you can deduce your new drag coefficient from your new mpg figures.
A 10% drag reduction will net a 5% improvement in mpg at a constant 55 mph.
The only variable you can have is the shape of your car.
