The longer the car is, the easier it is to make it more aerodynamic / lower drag. It allows for a more gradual shape change allowing the air to stay attached, follow the curves of the body and not become turbulent. The lower the drag is, the higher the top speed will be with the same power. If the weight doesn't increase "too much", the MPG will also increase with the lower drag.
