It'd provide a ridge for the air to cleanly separate from.
I've been looking at your fuel consumption.
With all the work done on it, I'm surprised it's still so high (or low in mpg)
My sister has the 1.4 TDi in a Fabia, runs under 4L/100km (better than 71 mpg UK or 59 mpg US) without much of a problem.
Actually my nephew managed 4L/100km while he was learning to drive - no pun intended, just saying.
They want them to shift early at the exam, so that's what he did.
No fancy things like highly inflated tyres, weight reduction, aero cleanup, let alone coasting (which would be an instant fail at the test).
It's not the weight carried around the motorway - it doesn't really matter there. It does matter in town though.
At (legal) UK motorway speeds, or a tad lower, it should do nicely.
