Elhigh, you need to check your math. 80 MPG * 2 people = 160 MPG, which is less than 200 MPG. So a slightly-modified Quickie should do the job... But someone has to do the modifications!

BTW, I attended a presentation by an airline representative about a year ago. He mentioned that the newest version of the venerable 737 with a full load of passengers got per-passenger fuel economy equivalent to the "average SUV". I think it was on the order of 12 PMPG, so that assumes just the driver in the SUV--a valid assumption in most cases...
