My CRX started around Cd 0.35 and 52 mpg at a constant 55 mph.Top speed-93 mph
My mods:
* a modest nose fascia to cover the existing nose ( 6-inches depth with grille block,radiused inlet duct,Plex. covered fenestrations for turn signals )
* lower front airdam
* rocker panel extensions to 'bottom' of underside
* bellypan with 2.5-degree diffuser
* front wheel gap-fillers
* MOON style wheel covers
* Full rear wheel skirts
* Rear hatch header buttress extensions with Backlight top wing
* 1-foot slip-on boat tail
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modified drag coefficient: Cd 0.235.
60 + mpg @ 55 mph
Top speed - 100 mph

I think you could certainly get to the same numbers on Cd.You have more frontal area so your CdA is higher,but still,a 28% mpg increase at least.
