The overall car length will still be shorter than a typical short-bed pickup in length, so I'm going to go for it, and keep the full length!!
Jim,

Darin's tail is 62" long.

If 48" is achievable without cutting the end of the tail off, then your car will be as long as a minivan.

As for fuel economy, I suppose my biggest goal is to be able to do lean burn at 74mph instead of the 68mph I can do now.
