To me, the lesson is (as has been stated before) round the front as much as needed (which isn't that much) and taper the rear as much as you can. Done.

The result? A brick that is more aerodynamic (relative to Cd) than most cars on the road.
I went back to the top of the thread and added a NOTE which I should have posted initially,that the cutoff for low drag would begin at Cd 0.25.Sorry!
