It's more complex than just rolling resistance. It has more to do with the 9-5 having a low compression engine with long gearing. My previous car was an Alfa 164S with a high compression 6 cylinder and more RPMs for the same speed, i.e. tighter gearing. Engine braking was about twice as good in the Alfa as it is with my 9-5 Aero. It took some getting used too. My wife's Fiat X1/9 is also tighter geared so when I'm driving it, I have to get used to more engine braking again.
