Out of curiosity, is the drag coefficient for any of our cars known?

I was motoring back to Richmond from Leesburg last night and the sparse traffic 
on I-95
was FLYING!

I couldnt believe my speedometer. . .so I started timing myself on the mile 
markers
(which are laid out in 1/10th of a mile increments strangely)  and also with the
airplane speed stripes on the road which are < mile apart (I think)

Sure enough, my little group was cruising at  90mph for the 45 minutes or so 
that I was
with them.

I was pretty proud of the TR-6s performance, but the fuel gauge went down so 
fast . .
. you would have thought I had a leak!

Just Curious if anyone else had a similar experience.
