A boat tail, in general, increases fuel economy by around ten percent, right? How feasible is it to create one, reducing weight in the process?

How much weight would you need to lose to improve economy by ten percent?

They are, at least, creating a Kamm-back, right?

They dropped it, which does improve aerodynamics, but how does that compare with an air dam and\or belly pan?
