Going off the figures in your table -
Cd = 0.17 vs Cd = 0.11 burns an additional gallon of fuel every 807.7 miles or 124 additional gallons every 100,000.

Aside from any concerns about time until pay-off, I wonder if there are any additional eco-penalties/benefits associated with a custom built windshield vs a mass produced windshield???
