[*]Station wagons are worse than sedans because the turbulent region at the rear is larger; so-called "lifestyle wagons" are not quite as bad, but have less cargo space (see Mercedes C 200 T vs. C 200)

I was researching the 2009 Jetta Sportwagon TDI and found it gets worse mileage than my 2003. Then I checked EPA's web page and found that the new EPA MPGs show the 2003 TDI wagon gets better mileage than the 2003 TDI sedan! In this unusual case there must be other factors in addition to Cd?
