Local car critic Ed Wallace road tested the Scion IQ for a week.While at Cd 0.31 (impressive for a car this length) he was only able to pull 42 mpg on the highway.
'Tail-less' cars like these might be good candidates for an RXT,whether as a streamlining structure alone RXT-A,or combined with extra batteries RXT-B,or with a generator RXT-G.
Here would be a beginning list of candidates which might benefit on out of town,extended highway driving:
*Scion IQ
*Smart ED
*Aston Martin Cygnet
*Mitsubishi i-MiEV'
*Nissan Leaf
*Suzuki Twin
*Tata Nano
*Honda P-NUT
*Chevrolet SONIC
*FIAT 500
*Toyota Prius V
