Aerodynamics is only part of the parasitic losses, and you're only addressing one aspect of aero drag, so the actual fuel consumption improvement is likely very small from one modification. It takes a suite of aero mods to really reduce fuel consumption.

Keep testing, though preferably on a calm day, or over many days using a consistent route.

Have fun,
