He also did extensive CFD simulation on the Aerolid and extension box combination. An unbelievable reduction in drag of 24% was calculated over baseline in the simulations of the Aerolid/extension combination.
Maybe some day soon I can tell the whole story.

I don't doubt 24% potential Cd reduction. That's ~12% mpg gain which strikes me as possibly low for a clean cap and fanny extension.
I'm particularly interested in lack of vorticity in those CFD simulations. I don't envy your position: opaque proof. But I'm firmly in your corner. Rock on!
