The skirts helps, that's been proven countless times. Everything you do to cover the wheels will help, be it a full skirt, mini or just reducing the fender/tire gap. The problem is that you might not see an improvement in your next tank because of many variables impacting your MPG which you can't control on a tank to tank basis. Just don't go and remove them after your next fillup because they did not live up to your expectations, that would be stupid.

I'm not going to take anything off, until I'm real sure it's harming the cd.
If I can get this monster to do 35 on highway, I'll see about replacing
some tape with plastic or sheet metal. I don't think I'll ever worry about 40
MPG unless I add an EV motor (for a mild-hybrid effect).
I just topped off today. I knew it was going to be bad before I went in,
since we wasted a ton of gas sitting in 4 MPH Boston traffic for at least
an hour, a couple of weeks ago.
Just about all the drivers around here a really bad rubberneckers.
They sit in stop-and-go traffic for hours complaining about it..
But when they get up to the jam's point-of-origin, they hit the brakes!
They have to stop and look all around to find out the reason
they were in the jam for so long!! 
Most of the time, the tire changer is gone, but they stop anyways..
Sometimes, it's a new billboard, wastes millions of gallons of fuel!!
People see it and they hit the brakes!
I'm not sure what's going on here. But is sure seems like this state has
the dumbest drivers in the known universe.
And now the cell phone texting thing has made it worse!!
