I believe we will see the benefits listed, perhaps a bit more.
As I interpret Aero's comments, he is saying the same thing. We might be off 5 or 10 percent, but the savings are HUGE.

Until we get 'curved' trailers we'll have to work with what we've got.
It might be that trailers like Haulmark and Featherlite are better candidates for mods,as they have the radius'd top edges and don't blow over in a cross-wind like slab-sided rigs.
Also,their wheels are integrated into the body better,with less interference drag as a result.
We have local beer distributors with really fine, low-profile,rounded corner trailers,no higher than the truck cab.And if you brake down,there's no risk that you'll die of thirst!
