I was especially surprised at just how sloppy that the back end was under the bumper areas on these cars. It's almost like they aren't even trying.

Actually, I came away quite encouraged with the Fiesta since it would be so easy to improve. The car is just begging for a full bellypan. The underside is a complete aerodynamic disaster, and I would think it would be easy to pull an easy 2-3 MPG more out of the car just by covering the underside.
