Safety is a big concern. The centered seat is a part of that. I'm uncomfortable sitting right next to the door in my normal car. I want some wiggle room, if hit on the driver's door.
I'm also thinking I will include tubular structure in the body. Imagine the curved line of the aerodynamic streamlining template as a roll bar.
I've been looking at the mpg calculator. To reach 100 mpg at 60 mph the drag coefficient, frontal area, and weight will need to be minimized.
