I consumed 1.4% more fuel today, than on Friday. In other words, no significant change in fuel economy over the course of my homeward commute.

I'm still investigating this idea further. The increase in fuel economy during straight and level stretches of road (and downhill inclines) are offset by a decrease in fuel economy on uphill inclines. I have observed fuel economy in-town of around 21 MPG with the wedge, which is slightly more than the 18 MPG I had been getting without the wedge, and slightly higher than the EPA rating of 13 MPG.
