And aerodynamics?

Hello everybody
By quickly going around the current topics, I have not yet seen any topic dealing with aerodynamics. I am, perhaps, off topic (in this case I will not be bothered that I change creamery ). But as it is noted "Tips to consume less", I think I have found my home port.
I have a Saxo oil 122 000 km that rolls today with a mixture of oil and diesel (between 15 and 30% depending on the mood). The goal is to move it to medium-term G +. But there will be work is sure!
In the meantime, I intend to modify a few points of the Saxo to improve the flow of air and graze ... 0.2 liter to one hundred (this is the stated goal!). The current conso is always lower than 5 liters except on highway (speed stabilized between 120 and 130). I own a notebook where are noted all full with mileage since the first kilometer of the car. It will be easier to measure the gain.
In terms of aerodynamics, I am told, properly documented since I am interested in this since the end of the 80 years (I was 15 years still it was a long time ago ... ). I have signed some articles in the car press but I know that I still have a lot of things to learn and understand.
I had already made some changes (aero and weight) on my previous car: Citroën AX diesel. The conso was down to 3.95 liters in normal use (80 km / h alone on the road - 90 km / h when I was followed + a little city). But the changes were rather poorly made and I hope to improve my achievement now on this project.
So I will try to transcribe in the coming months the changes on my car with some photos, difficulties encountered and measured gains.
If other people have made similar experiences I will be happy to have their advice.
Finally, if some have questions about aerodynamics in general, and to the extent of my abilities far from being exhaustive, I can answer them.
Econologically to all
