I suppose theoretically, the 0.32 coupe would do better on the freeway than the 0.36 hatch, while the lighter hatch would do better in the city than the heavier coupe. Lighten the load on the coupe/sedan, as I have done to the tune of 200+ pounds and the coupe might get the better of each situation.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
