look at the shape.... look at how easily the rear window gets covered in water when the road is wet... thats due to the way the car is shaped, which causes a low pressure area right behind it which is significantly bigger than the low pressure area created by the sedan.
the sedan has much better drag characteristics.
Also... if you hook up a scanguage to the HB you'll notice that anything above 50mph and your mpg's drops like a rock.... yes there is also the factor of friction with higher rpm's...however, friction isn't the only force causing mpg's to decrease so quickly at highway speeds.
