61. I hope it works, but stories like this happen all the time
Some amazing invention happens in the lab, then you never hear from it again.

FWIW, I don't have the calculation but decreasing the weight of the car by 1000 pounds plus an engine 3.5x more efficient would give you a family sedan that got 140mpg or more.
