It would not be difficult at all for car manufacturers to take all the things you've done on your car, finess them a little with a wind tunnel and offer it right NOW to the general public. I think you could call it the Civic EM (for extreme milage).

Just think about it for a minute. It would take far less technology than a hybrid and get more than eighty mpg. Easily over a hundred with hybrid technology.

So we all know it can be done. Yet it isn't.
