If I can get ahead on saving money, it would not be beyond me to seek out a body shop that would make a customized "bajoosed" front and rear bumpers. Already, with MIMA I can generally get 100mpg hypermiling at 45-50mph on the freeway at temperatures of 80F or higher. Concerning MIMA, I rarely use the manual Assist, although that's why everybody buys it. The FAS switch is what I use constantly on MIMA - allowing me to shut the engine off and coast with the engine off as safely as a Prius. With the aeromods I suggested, I'd hope to change the Cd from .25 to .18-.20 and get 100mpg in near-freezing temperatures - 100mpg above 60mph - and push the upper limit of lean burn from 65mph to 70 or 75.
The only thing in the near future I can see outdoing a 5-speed Insight on long highway cruises is the Aptera or a Craig Vetter motorcycle with aeromods - not bad company.
