Hi drmiller,
I wish you the best, this sound really exciting.
I wanted to make a couple obsevations. First a 10 foot wheel base is pretty long, this is necessary for tricycle stability, right?
And have you looked at the links on the Zing post? The Zing is an electric with (opional?) gasoline genset. On the apteraforum Ken Fry makes the point that conventional gasoline generators have really poor efficiency, but he will do better.
To achieve 100 mpg you will still need an efficient engine. I hope you can get a better match for your load than "Honda engines are cheap..."
Good luck, and keep us informed of everything.

Wheelbase will end up at 10 feet or so.
