An engine/fan combo from an ultralight aircraft would fit the bill with what the OP wants...

That said that engine is suitable to push a 270lb aircraft and 150lb man around in a light wind... not a 4200lb SUV down a road. I don't think you would be able to obtain any sort of fuel economy gain...

If you want to prop an SUV skip the small props and go for a swamp boat propulsion system. Although I doubt you are going to get any better fuel economy than the engine in the SUV could provide....
