Yes this is my issue as well when I was trying to figure out what to build. This is why I went with the 3 wheel concept with an enclosed cockpit. This way I could replace my car with something that got well over 100mpg and can be used year round just like a normal car. So far the cost of my TIGON is under $7,000 USD with only the interior, body and some misc unaccounted for. This is with mostly brand new components minus the chassis and some suspension parts which I reconditioned. This gives you a vehicle that has no miles on it and can easily get over 100mpg on the freeway and because its a hybrid it will also give you excellent in town economy.
