GM's 1992 Ultralite was reported at 100-mpg,@ a constant 50-mph.
They provided Cd, frontal area, and curb weight. If you calculate for 'real' highway speeds, 100-mpg goes away very fast.

I don't see any meaningful drag reduction/ mpg capability for the Bismoto package.

4) Rear skirts are a definite 'YES', especially if you're going to extend the tail.
You must have as much separation-free flow, for the entire length of the car as you can get.

Speaking of separation flow, is there a way to have more aerodynamic door handles? I saw at bonneville for the Ioniq speed record they taped over the door handles. Wish there was an aftermarket way to get Tesla style door handles. I know that’s grasping at straws though lol
