I was just going by my experience. Ive actually owned 3 a-wagons and 2 a-sedans. All had the HD brake option, V6, 440T4 automatic w/3.33 final drive, AC, and most other options. All had the square rear window. For kicks once I weighed a sedan and wagon at the co-op, both with full tank of gas, no interior items, and no passengers. The sedan was 3100 lbs. The wagon was 3500 lbs, which included my trailer hitch that was about 40 lbs. Also from my experience driving the same roads for many years, the sedans get about 2 mpg better overall than the wagons. Also Ive found the 3.1 gets about 2 mpg better than the 2.8 with all else equal.
