Hello fellow Northwesterner! One thing I noticed about your car is the rounded transitions from side to the back. It may be promoting turbulence in the wake. Maybe adding a sharper transition ala Chevy Volt, Toyota Prius could produce a cleaner wake without altering the look of the car too much.

Also, consider inflating the tires a little more to reduce rolling resistance. Good luck!
