Sure, the small reductions in fuel use are hard to spot.

But in order to significantly reduce the Cd on production cars, we're going to need a miracle aerodynamic breakthrough, or we're going to have to apply all those 2% ecomods.

The better it already is, the harder it is to improve upon.

Loremo is but one example of a low Cd skirtless design and at .20 it's well below .25.
Unfortunately, it's a prototype value as there's no production so far.
