From the testing I did I got a 7% improvement in fuel consumption @ 70km/h and 8% @ 100km/h for the following:
  • removed roof rails
  • lower grille opening totally covered
  • Kammback
  • rear wheel skirts
  • folded passenger side mirror

I also did coastdown tests and chrunching the numbers implied a Cd reduction of only ~3%, from 0.334 to 0.324. The test conditions were not ideal, but I haven't been able to find better conditions since then.
