It shouldn't make THAT much of a difference under 40 mpg (i.e., around town).
Mike Corbin stated his newly redesigned Sparrow 2 EV is the most aerodynamic vehicle design on the planet.

There's no way I am paying over $30K to drive a one-person golf ball.

There is a redesigned nose that hasn't been revealed yet (only the zebra prototype). Maybe we'll get something like that

Remember, drag is proportional to coefficient * area, so his frontal area can be 1/2 the competition and still have less drag with a poor drag coefficient.
