Are you still going for the 100mpg commuter ?

Dunno, you can have an Atkinson cycle engine and then a fat Eaton TVS supercharger for the extra power, it would be very fuel efficient with the supercharger bypass opened since you can gear it to cruise with the throttle fully open, and it'll go like stink under boost. Maybe aim for like, 85 Nm/L without boost as opposed to the 79Nm/L that the Toyota ---FXE engines usually use the TVS units work well at pressure ratios of 1.6 ish, so with intercooling you can probably get a healthy 120Nm/L.
