I believe the optimal engine is a 300CC engine, single or ptwin engine, geared in such a way that it would reach 2k RPM at 60MPH in final gear.


Take reference car 2550LBS 'Fiesta ST' with 1 liter triple cylinder turbo enigne, and ~45MPG real life avg MPG.
Or, the Mitsubishi mirage with their 1 liter NA engine 2000LBS, 50 real life avg MPG car.
