What would we be rewarding: driving style or ecomodding skills? There are too many parameters when everyone drives their own heavily ecomodded car.

If we want to reward hypermiling skills only, then everyone should drive the same car. Two identical Metros or Hondas or Hummers, same model, same engine, same trim, and see who gets the best milage in a circuit run. Then the drivers switch cars and again. The final score is the average from from both runs. Both cars would already be partially modded to ease hypermiling, for example rear wheel skirts, partial Kammback, smooth wheel covers, battery fully charged, rear seats removed, tires pumped and engines heated.
Contestants start in pairs, the winner advances to the next round. Each round is a different route.
