I wish you luck. You're going to have to address aero if you plan on 50mpg at a steady speed. I don't want you to be discouraged, but I think 35 is more realistic. To put it in perspective, my cts will do about 33-35mpg @ 55mph. 3.6 v6 turning about 1550rpm.

You should look up some of the work done by "pgfpro" on his first gen eagle talon.
