One final thought on an extreme FE car. We should all keep in mind the fact that inexpensive, high FE vehicles have already been built and sold successfully, such as the WV Lupo.
There is no magic to it. The easy, affordable way to big FE numbers is low tech rather than high tech. Nobody will buy an expensive vehicle that is so aerodynamic that it's non-ergonomic.
1) light weight
2) reasonably low Cd / low A,
3) a matched (small) efficient engine, whether gas electric or diesel
4) efficient accessories.
