90-95 percent of all cars carry just one person, particularly during rush hours when traffic is at its worst. Sleek, lightweight vehicles have many advantages: superior fuel economy, lower emissions, new design perspectives, and lean production potential. We are talking 80 to 110 mpg with small, conventional engines, without the need for expensive, complex, weight-increasing hybrid hardware. It’s all about having a choice. You can use the low-drag, lightweight vehicle for practically anything, and save-rent-borrow the ‘big car’ when you really need the extra space.

So, why don’t we slim down our favorite mode of transportation?
