The original 1 liter concept had a cd of .159 with a 7.5 hp 300cc 1cyl N/A diesel and it managed 235 mpg. They have now changed it (for the worse) the cd is now .195 (the same as the EV1) it has a 2cyl 800cc TDI (half of a 1.6L TDI) that puts out 7 hp in eco mode and 25 hp in "Sport" mode and is a hybrid which added 201lbs to the car and it still manages 170 mpg. (Can I have the original please.)

Very good point. That could be another option for this thread where I said EV1 + 1st Gen Honda Insight drivetrain :
