Half tonneau or full aero cap... I don't really think there's a worthwhile middle ground.
You could just drive 2 seconds behind a semi the whole way and get better FE improvement. My Rabbit usually does 32mpg but when I slipstreamed on a highway trip I ended up with a 36mpg tank... and that includes 50 miles of "spirited" driving!
At 60mph and 3 seconds behind a truck, the surrounding air is going 10mph slower, as if you were driving 50mph. Try it! Also, X2 on folding back the mirrors, using a grille block etc.
