On your last point, you're partially correct: the best situation would see gearing changed to account for lower engine load due to improved aerodynamics. (Why aeromodding a car with a CVT might show better results than a conventional automatic or manual.)
But having said that, I've never seen a vehicle that doesn't use less fuel as a result of less throttle input!
