The pig is great if we can just get those ears tucked. A freshly shorn sheep would be pretty smooth, I hear they are rather direction disoriented, would tend to be urban only..
But the pigmobile can run on about anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(fuel wise)

Hm, I feel like if we replaced those ears with side-facing microphones, it would cut back a lot of drag.
