I think I saw on the Colbert Report that the location farthest from a Wal-Mart is in some corner of the Dakotas. 100mi, eh? It sounds to me like you need to start with a car with extremely good aerodynamics, then make the aerodynamics much better. Also get low rolling resistance tires.
The first gen Honda Insight is pretty much unbeatable among four-wheelers as far as aero goes, and if you can find one that has a dead battery or something, they're not terribly expensive.
