Take this and mod it even more and see what you come up with. I'm guessing the best way would be to either take a turbine engine and tune it way down or taking a really small diesel engine and working with that.
That link looks interesting, but the car designs don't look very aerodynamic. When I compare Basjoos's car with those, there are no wheel skirts, air dams, or tail cone.

Next question:

To get to 200 MPG highway, what is the most important aspect.

1) powerplant/engine/fuel
2) aerodynamics
3) hybrid design
4) transmission
