As you say, there is the real world. Airplaines dont fly sideways for a reason, regardless of personal taste. I always have to take the needless opinions down a notch where things like frontal area are concerned.

You can have a tandem that you don't have to straddle however. But you are on a different path which is fine but will impede your 100mpg goal.
