bteck,if you retain the roof and go quite insane with the car I think Cd 0.151 would be doable without a trailer.
I would do everything basjoos has done with AeroCivic.
I'd stick to the 'Template' for the aft-body.Extend the rear pillars with integral wing spoilers,(top and midway at least),then pickup on the 'Template' out to the 50% mark.
You'd be looking at 65.5 mpg HWY and you'd still have a roof big enough for friends.
