    That car is actually set up to minimize drag. The modifications are similar to those on the solar powered cars. I wouldn't doubt that this guy is a hyper-miler or whatever they call the guys that go for extreme gas mileage. The tires are probably overinflated as well. Weird looking but I think its kinda cool to try and maximize gas mileage.

    Are you sure, looks like just a prius with an ugly azz body kit and some smoked lights. I mean really if you got a prius how could you not be satisfied with your gas mileage already.
    BUILT NOT BOUGHT .........

    there is always room for improvement with fuel economy. go check out some hypermiling websites. people go huge lengths for some ridiculously efficient vehicles. the cover over the rear wheels and disc hub caps on the front are common. Lots of people will chop tops, build boat tails, completely seal the front grill, underbody panels, etc. just to eek out a few more mpg's. Having a car that gets 50mpg is great, but why not get 60mpg? or 70? or 80?
