Can you provide examples of 80mpg production vehicles please?

VW Lupo 3L TDI, sadly now out of production because it was too
expensive for so small a car

OK, next?

Just to prove what can be done the world record for a vehicle capable
of carrying a human is currently 10703 - yes you read that right, ten
thousand, ten followed by four zeros, miles per gallon.

And is that vehicle roadworthy?

No...

OK, next?

Of course one-off prototypes of unworkable or unmarketable cars can be
made for nearly any purpose. Rocket cars go really really really fast,
but they're not roadworthy or marketable either.
