solarguy has quite a thought going...

got me thinking of trike and ecomod..

if to not have the 180 fire of a four, and need to chase the miss...aerodynamics a must, lightweight.... A boxer2 cylinder benz style, and backwards trike or frontwards. As there is 3 wheels, i would cradle the engine with a wide part, so a forward trike may be better idea (axle back)...for stability and balance, resonance dispersing, etc.After driving a 2cylinder inline diesel tractor, the boxer would be even better...
100s mpg a big maybe....heavy flywheel blah blah blah etc etc etc
