No. But if you work out the approx possible drag reduction it doesn't amount
to much. A few percent? Which would give a few percent extra mph. Probably
not easily measured, but when compounded by lots of other drag reduction
efforts, it all adds up.
My Europa isn't particularly fast (143knts max. S&L) but does seem to use
less fuel than many.
No logic there.
