I wish I still have link to "Future Car" this German engineer was able to reduce 50% of fuel consumption by making the front of a regular 18 wheelers more aerodynamic. That without touching the weight and the engine of the car.

Motorcycles get about 40 mpg, and isn't practical at all for 100 mile a day commute.

Excuse me, I'm calling BS. 55mpg in the city??? C'mon. At low speeds, aerodynamic drag is not enough of a factor to improve mpg from what, maybe 30... to 55. Not to mention, the science of aerodynamics is just that, a science. Who knows what this rolling disaster will do at hi speeds.
