Mass is important for stop and go driving -- which would involve repeated accelerations. Drag would be the biggest factor otherwise -- how much drag would depend on the coefficient of drag. The more aerodynamic the shape, the less energy required.

Would an aerodynamic shape be a benefit at low speeds?
