You can download car data tables that are (in part) used to help determine the road loads for the EPA fuel economy test cycles. I didn't know that...
Test Car List Data Files | Cars and Light Trucks | US EPA
The header for the 2016 table is below. NOTE: I believe that the "Cd" in most or all of the entries below means "Code". There is a Road Load (derived) figure, which I put in red. It is unclear what most of the coefficients near the end of the list are, but I bet some of them have to do with rolling resistance and aero drag.
