the second one is about 25% more frontal area, and about 12% heavier

19bh frontal area 8232 sq in, about 2500 lbs
visa frontal area 10260 sq in, about 2800 lbs

given the general boxiness of both of them and a van to break the wind up front, I think the 19bh is gonna start out ahead and pull away from there efficiency wise.
