You can run the numbers using R.G.S.Whites formula,comparing his different shapes for an approximation.Use 5 for category (I) under bodies to get your total.

A JEEP CJ/Wrangler type vehicle would go from an industry worst nose,to an industry best nose in a minute with only a couple of pounds weight penalty.At least a 14% drag reduction and around 7% mpg HWY.
