This is for the idea, It's visualizing:
So I know I can convert it to Diesel with a Manual transmission, Add a belly pan and new tires; Plus, With Turning it into a hatchback and adding side skirts and smooth hubcaps and engine tuning and engine and transmission heaters and some headlight covers and Eco-driving I think I already have 30+ in theory. What a day.
Maybe a little changing of the hood to make that more aerodymaic will help too, So the wind breaks over the windshield a little easier?
I think a 20 gallon fuel tank (or smaller) for Diesel will suffice since the fuel economy is higher with Diesel and the fuel is heavier; With a smaller tank this may be a weight reduction.
Gee, What can a belly pan be made out of for under $100? I wonder, Is anyone on Craigslist is looking to get rid of a lot of Coroplast for free?
