The one topic I haven't touched yet is aero mods. I think with such a small engine and limited power some subtle mods may help with both speed and economy?

We will find out.
If it makes you feel better your car is faster than the first couple decades of automotive history. All with a lawn mower engine. lol
Also, on the bright side depending on what state you're in if you put this back on the road (totally possible in Arkansas) you're $100-250 ahead over the hybrid guys who now have to pay the luxury tax on their vehicles.

Also, I would recommend a 250cc oem moped muffler. That thing is loud!
