There's a good thread on boat tails here:

Big Rig Boat-tail Can Cut Fuel Consumption By 2 Percent - CleanMPG Forums

It's a different site, but heck - I read and learn from both sites

There is one boat tail configuration which claims 7.5% improvement. In light of some automotive boat tail experiments discussed here I think the number is reasonable.
