Could be an alignment issue, though the car seems to roll OK at low speed, which would rule that out (and brake drag).
Clutch isn't slipping. The gearing isn't terrible either: ~2500 RPM @ 60 mph, if memory serves.
It's a bit of a mystery.
I searched for drag coefficient and found nothing. I bet it's not good.
EPA combined of 25 is comparable to a 2003 Honda Civic 2.0L 5MT (25) but a 2003 Toyota Corolla 1.8L 5MT is rated 31 combined.
