A 200mpg car that runs like a car, has options and accessories like a car, runs of gasoline is impossible.
I flat towed a Honda Accord once, you're not supposed to flat tow them, with the engine off. So I started it, put it in neutral, reset the MPG and towed it. All it had to do was idle and it only got 250mpg.
So having to do things like over come your own tire rolling resistance, aerodynamic drag at usesble highway speeds, run the A/C no way any kind of car is going to get much over 100mpg.
Anyone who tells you their car or they know of a car that got 200mpg is blowing smoke up your arse.
