Frank, IIRC the California Commuter used a Honda 250cc single cylinder m/c engine.

On a related note, a few years ago Volkswagen displayed their so-called "One Liter" car, which got up to 238 mpg on the highway. It meets all applicable safety standards, and at one time VW were planning to offer the car retail starting in 2010. Haven't heard about it in a while tho.
