The differences visible in the hybrid here are the smooth wheels and the trunk lid spoiler.

Both cars seem to have rear wheel spats, so no improvement there.

That would be a good thread to start, especially since many hybrid versions of regular cars have lower drag coefficients.

I've been trying to do that, and I
think I have it sort of figured out. Too bad there isn't an actual calculator.
