They're so good they're not worth messing with.Just my opinion.
Unfortunately for you,the mods that would actually help you are the ones your set against.The back of your car is 'wrong' and that's where its drag is.Very little of what you do at the front will make a difference at the pump.Unless it was extremely radical.

News to me. You drive a sixth generation Civic like mine? I took off both mirrors. Waste of time, I guess.
But you also seem to suggest that grille blocks and the like "at the front" will not change anything. Tire spats? Wiper delete? Antenna repositioning? I have also done those at the front. All worthless? If true, then my improvements on the highway (without hypermiling), from roughly 38-40 to 49-51 (I can't tell exactly), would be entirely from tire pressure, a WAI, weight reduction, and rear mudflap delete.

I'm not sure I know what you mena, but yes, I find the car drivable without power steering. Absolutely.
