curious about sedan vs liftback mpg comparison

[El Kapitan]

i've noticed from visiting various site like fuelly, ecomodder, etc... that it seems people with MT and sedan ON AVERAGE seem to get slightly better mileage than the liftback, with 3 door liftbacks in turn slightly beating out the 5 door LBs. (i was only checking manual trans on all of these)

checking the weight, they are all about the same. i think the sedan might be a few pounds less but not a significant amount.


does anyone have any experience driving both types and if so, what was your experience with the mileage (btw, i own the 5dr LB so i'll try to break this stat!)
