How much of an MPG improvement would a Kammback or Boat tail do for a cvt? I know i will never reap the benefits of a greatly improved leanburn envelope, but why should that stop me from from improving the efficiency of my car.

As a base line i average 64.5 mpg on commute with around town errands added. Max speed is 55mph, average around 45mph. On the highway i average 55mpg going the 65mph speed limit with large sections on inclines, but which could be improved by driving style.

My goal is to break an even 70mpg average all day long. I would ultimately want to match the stated epa 75mpg of the manual in a cvt.
