if you get a chance, check underneath an 06 jetta diesel to see a really good undercarriage - done through a combination of bolt-on smooth trays & gap filler panels. they put a lot of work into it and it's pretty astonishing, compared to most new cars. and they only did it on the diesel; the gas car has a naked undercarriage.
makes you wonder why carmakers don't offer aerodynamic "options" - i mean, aside from often purely cosmetic rear deck spoilers. maybe the jetta panels cost a couple hundred bucks, but if people knew they'd reduce fuel consumption by 3 or 4% (reasonable guess), maybe they'd tick that box on the option sheet. same for rear wheel skirts. they're not rocket science to add to any car, and they help a few percent.
