Aero Trailer? Could it help FE?

I was thinking about building a small trailer to pull behind the Metro. It would be fairly light weight and used for camping supplies, fishing equip., etc.

I was thinking of building it using a method I seen using fiberglass. Build a wooden frame the shape you want the trailer, overlay with fiberglass and trim away wood frame after doing fiberglassing. I figured build it roughly 1ft shorter than my car and about 1 ft narrower, allowing airflow to attach to trailer.

Here is the shape I am thinking about.



Input? Just wondering if something like this could actually help FE at highway speed.
