You don't need to do that.. overkill mate, they are so tiny it's unreal.
However, you can get good economy from high performance engines in large cars.
For example, a car you are probably all aware of:
The BMW 330i:
39.2MPG (UK gallons) combined cycle (
272 Hp
6.1 0-60
We do have a lot of very small cars though. For example the Suzuki Swift, Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa, Fiat Panda. Do any of these sell in the US?
