Yes, 200Wh per mile is really good. When I owned a gas midget, I always thought it would make a good conversion because they are so light and small. I measured that value a couple of different ways, and if it isn't 200Wh per mile it's real close. I have 50 MPH measurements that beat that, but when I look at my stop and go numbers I wouldn't claim I get that. The car isn't known as an aerodynamic wonder, but it does have a very small frontal area. I have the tires pumped up to 40 PSI, and the wheel bearings and lack of brake drag make it roll very easily.
