I know Mercedes was stingy with its parts bin and development money when they owned Chrysler but did they ever bother pushing this thing into a wind tunnel?

I had a base 95 neon for a few years. It was a real punishment box compared to anything else on the road but with a 130hp 2.0 engine, it could touch 40mpg even with my 70-80mph habit. Even in city traffic it rarely fell under 30mpg. Back in the day Dodge quoted the Cd at .33 for that car. I don't think they even bother releasing those kinds of specs anymore. Devolution at its best.

EDIT
Dodge avenger has drag coefficient of .326
