A partial Kammback is the tried & true route to aero improvement (at the back).

I've tested Airtabs on a minivan, and detected no difference (where I was able to detect the difference from roof rack removal, as well as a slapped together kardboard Kammback). I haven't posted the test yet, but will in the coming week or so.
