I think you’ll find the issue of fuel mileage is tied far more to the drivers right foot than it is the aerodynamics.
The ‘sweet spot’ of the drivetrain is also important. For a few years my father & I both had exactly the same make / model / drivetrain Class A’s. He swore up & down that driving slower, 60 mph gave him the best mileage. I disagreed. Then we went to the same place at the same time. He held 60, I drove 65 - 70. Low & behold my rig used less gas to do the trip.
