Bigger vehicles also end up becoming longer in proportion to their height and width. That is also an aerodynamic improvement. For an example, trains are very aerodynamic because of their length.

Not that curves can't help. But a curvy vehicle body isn't everything.
That is another reason I believe my 93 will do well:
