New to the Forum, and I have an idea

I'm new to this forum and I've got an idea for a project. let me know what you guys think.

I'm an engineering student and did a basic spreadsheet calculating fuel mieage using drag and engine efficiency, BTU in a gallon of fuel, etc. It gave me posssible values of 55 mpg for a crx and 55 for a vw diesel rabbit.

I did a sheet for a vw 1.6 diesel swapped into a crx. Really simple and cheap. The spreadsheet spit out 80 mpg for the diesel crx at 55 mph on a level road.

From your experiences, do you guys think this project would be worth completing once I graduate? I can't find anything about a swap like this except a guy on youtube who never showed the thing completed.
