I noticed that as well. 84 mpg at highway speeds sounds a bit far fetched for even a small two seat car. You'd be hard pressed to get that kind of highway mileage from a 250cc motorcycle.

I kind of doubt it too but it is only one person wide, so it's a little like a full enclosed fairing motorcycle.
