That's what I would say. But you have to overlay the template correctly with regard to the center of roof camber.

Here, attached is the overlay for the spoiler I preliminarily tested last night and plan to test again soon, more rigorously. The line in red is what I built. The line in black is an alternate I am considering. The inconclusive test showed a possible 0.45mpg improvement at 52mph.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
