High speed is where the boattail will shine, in a relative sort of way, but it doesn't mean that's where Jethro will also get his best mileage as highway speeds are generally higher.

If you look at basjoos' Aerocivic speed/mpg relation, this also drops off a lot when he's going faster.

A boattail on the motorway @ 50-55 mph would do small miracles.
