It depends on the car. The entire undercarriage is maybe 25% of the total. The delta in overall Cd is twice the delta in fuel consumption IIRC. IOW 10% better drag is 5% better mileage (kilometerage?).

Other areas that might see improvement could include rear-end lift, but it's going to depend on the vehicle.
