You run into the problem here that fuel mileage and low emissions, on gasoline, are the antithesis of each other.
Centers of automobile prod. spend billions trying to deal with this; to cripple automobile raciing which is already plenty short on teams (at least in the US compared to even 15 years ago) will further deplete the field of regional, or occasional racers who are sadly lacking now.

I go to races to see the bestest, baddest, and orneriest; I read tech. articles for science.
