I've been thinking about this......

get an old beetle (pre all this overweight safety shat) take the body off, turn it into a small ultralight dune buggy thing styled like an Ariel Atom, and put in a small diesel engine.

Summer use only high mpg DD. Unfortunately, I don't think Canada will see summer again, it's still snowing.

Run it off vegetable oil from Costco when diesel goes above $1.40cdn (I checked yesterday)

The laws for modified cars in Canada are so ridiculous, you need to start with something pre safety/mileage/emissions.
