I just had to take an online class and one of the things it discussed was the Dodge Dart. Not much meat to it, but it did mention some of its more obvious FE features.

-AC is part of an "option package" with power locks/windows and RKE on the SE (base model). As if they'll actually build more than a couple without it, and those for EPA testing and "see, you can get one for only this much!"

-They say the Cd is .30. They mentioned tire spats, active grille shutters and "on some models," underbody panels and diffusers that cover 2/3 of the bottom.

-Electric power steering, helping FE by "up to 3%."

-Wheels and tires leaning towards FE (they didn't actually say LRR) unless you get 18" ones.
