MGP more Aerodynamic than others?

Heartland states that the curved (egg-shape) of the MPG allows it to be more aerodynamic than traditional TT's. From what I've read, it seems like peope without diesels avg about 10-12 mpg towing the MPG. That seems about what everyone gets. So does the egg shape really give us an advantage? The square trailers give more headroom.

Just marketing hype. Most of the aerodynamic drag is from the flat back end creating a low pressure zone behind the trailer.

I don't think the aerodynamics improves mileage that much but you will notice less buffeting from the wind. The extra weight is what really affects your mileage in addition to your driving habits.
