At 55mph a square foot of well designed propeller (not counting the hub), could in theory, at best produce 200 watts, that would be enough to maintain the electrical system on a gas car, but the average speed of a gas car is not 55mph for most people it's closer to 35mph, unless they pull out of their driveway right on to a freeway.
But that 55mph wind speed would need to be straight line air flow, no obstructions in front or behind it, at all.
