Are there any guidelines as to the minumums for acceleration? here inthe US I would assume minumum sustainable speed would have to be 75 mph (120kmh).So in the quest for smaller motors for higher fuel mileage is there a limit as to how slow a car you can make?

My mini used to travel for 2 hours at a time, pedal flat on the floor, at an indicated 80 mph. One day I fitted a tachometer. The next week I took it off again.5300 rpm is a bit much for a 60s era long stroke engine.
