If it is like my about 22* window there is turbulence and a bit of separation toward the lower half of the window and trunk lid. See this wet tuft still:

The spoiler is there possibly to try and correct it, and possibly to produce downforce. Either way it must be producing some drag of its own. A clear Kamm that replace the 22* window and spoiler with a 14/15* clean slope would probably get the big ecomodder cheer. It could look cool too, I would think.

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.
