Once I drove 3 miles at 35 MPH against a strong headwind and got 20 trip MPG. The truck sat long enough to completely cool off, then I drove back at the same speed with a strong tailwind and got 30 MPG.
Aerodynamic drag is important even at low speeds.

I agree. What I like to say is that aero helps at any speed. At the slower speeds you may not detect it, but it adds up over time.
