The real question should be more fundamental

"Why does modern life need us to be this fast?"

tele commuting would allow better communities (more folks able to use local services/shops as they're about when they are open) with a reduction in fuel consumption, and a corresponding drop in traffic density.

32us MPG at 100mph is a noble goal, but opens more issues than it solves (e.g. acceptance of radical aero designed cars (needed for the Cd's refered to in the blog) and also the issues surrounding energy transference at that sort of speed, should the worst happen)

good on you for getting the thinking going though- some good ideas in the blog and on this thread
