Why do you disbelieve the concept that increased drag increases fuel consumption??
I'm not able to quantify it, but articles like this

Mention that closing windows & not flying flags are one way to reduce fuel consumption.
The effect doesn't have to be massive on an individual van basis, but remember this thread is about running a fleet of vehicles - the cumulative effect of even small increases in fuel useage per van will add up across multiple vehicles. In my opinion this is a preventable cost I believe NTL are justified in preventing.
