I think the best fuel economy would come from a car I was dreaming about the other day....... take a reasonably aerodynamically efficient vehicle (I.E. not my old Suburban) put a little cummins diesel generator in it with a gear reduction system to make a decent sized alternator spin fast enough to make enough energy to turn a few electric motors. The diesel would essentially be at a high idle about 1200-1500 rpm. It would run forever on a gallon of fuel... plus you could get WVO, propane, bio-diesel, or kerosene if you needed it lol... whatever is cheapest for you. THAT would be the bee's knees right there.
