Wake area (to me) is the area that has detached flow. Since the rear glass is peachy in my book, I took a tape measure to the rear end. Not very scientific but it's a good estimate.

I'm expecting 10% improvement, or about 4mpg. Combine that with 1mpg for the belly pan and 4mpg for E0 gas... calculations suggest 45+mpg without P&EOC? Perhaps 50 if I do a front end extension and full (to the rockers) front and rear skirts, and try really hard?
