I mean, no, but people do still drive them on highways, so the mildest resemblance of fuel efficiency would be nice.

Tell that to the people driving the dirt road outside my neighborhood.

“Hey, barkeep! Can you make me a Bulbasour neat? Thanks!”

For aerodynamics, aren't most cars are facing the wrong way?
The ideal is something like a reverse wedge, if I remember correctly
-
you mean to tell me a large vehicle is less aerodynamic than a small animal that doesnt exist?
fascinating.
-
Well the shape exists, and I don't think the size matters in aerodynamics? I'm not sure.
-
the size doesnt matter for aerodynamics, generally, but it matters for physics.
Drag is a square or cube scaling, i forget which, so at higher speeds it increases disproportionately.
A larger object has more air to move out of the way, which means more drag. It's more capable of moving that air with it's increased volume. But then you also start running into volume to surface area scaling issues. Elephants are really slow for a reason, and it's the same reason small animals are comparatively fast.

Whoa, that low-pressure butt area can such the poop right out of that monster.
-
I'm thinking entirely too hard for a meme about the aerodynamics of a pokemon, but there's no way that a literal Bulbasaur can beat an actual car, right?
-
Bulbasaur has curves, jeep is a series of boxes. So very possibly bulbasaur wins.

Jeeps are not a go fast vehicle... there's a thing called death wobble.
Death wobble is truly terrifying. Seriously do not let a new driver behind the wheel of anything with a solid front axle.
My 2001 Landcruiser with over 1,000,000 kms on the clock had a solid front axle and never did anything like a death wobble. For that matter, nor did our ‘96 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Maybe the longer wheelbase helped
