    Why does the Toyota Prius get much better MPG then the Lexus CT 200h?

    So the Toyota Prius and Lexus CT 200h both have the same drivetrain.

    The drag coefficient on the Prius is 0.25
    The drag coefficient on the CT 200h is 0.29

    The weight of the Prius is 3042 lbs.
    The weight of the CT 200h is 3130 lbs.

    Yet Gas Mileage Varies Big Time

    The Prius gets 51 in the city and 48 on the highway
    The CT 200h gets 43 in the city and 40 on the highway

    Can anyone please explain the huge difference in Fuel Economy?
