IMO liquid fuels are already too expensive.
This is for the Cd 0.23 Tesla Model-3.
The long range version is rated at 123-mpg-e HWY.I've estimated that this might equate to 62-mph (100 km/h)
With some wheel skirts and a boat tail I can get the Cd down to 0.179 without excessive length.Which would yield 100-mpg-e at 100-mph,or,170-mpg-e at 62-mph.
Your LEAF would be a great candidate for the same mod.

Which year model for the Ranger and S-10/ Sonoma?
The lowest Ranger was Cd 0.40.The lowest S-10 was Cd 0.42.
At the extreme,these can both go to Cd 0.13.
