If you want to build the ultimate MPG/Aero car an alternative approach would be to get a Metro or a Civic and play with the aero. It will be cheaper because parts just bolt on and there isn't anything which mechanically hasn't been done before - things like the 3 cyl with the longer gearing. You could gain by being the lightest or the most aerodynamic as a lot of those types of vehicle have to retain seats or carry stuff.
Search for the Aerocivic thread and follow that if you haven't already.
A mid engined car using Metro bits might be a lot of fun though.
