What kind of RPMs do you have on the Sentra at say 55 mph? I'm right at 2k, iirc. And I sorta suspect that Sentra has a much lower Cd than my 5 seater sporty/luxury sedan. Not that I'm hating on the Sentra; the sentra was my first Nissan love. I'd give my left nut for a newer sentra. Just saying, my barge likely pulls a lot of air along with it.

I'd love to BasJoos my car, but then my wife would hate me :P
