Which is equal to somewhere around 50 to 60 mpg.
So I wouldn't say that it's impossible if "nothing is off the table" as far as aero mods.
Also at .23 Cd aren't some prius cars already close to that?
To get .13 Cd doesn't the car start looking more like a air craft than a car?

The Tesla Model 3 has a Cd of 0.23 - with the aero wheel covers, of course.
70MPGe at 100MPH is one thing - 100MPGe at 100MPH is quite another thing.
If my memory serves me, the Edison2 VLC electric got about 245MPGe at 55MPH - with a DC motor. If it had an efficient AC motor, like in the Model 3, it would have been significantly higher.
The VLC had a Cd of 0.16 - in its ICE form, so slightly lower without the engine cooling.
