Well I think it has a hatch at the drivers feet that opens with a button maybe so what you do is you use your feet most of the time... kinda like a Flinstone Mobile... and then you use the engine only once in a while... and tada... 50mpg...

JK... LOL

IDK mine gets about 18ish city and just about 23hwy... and thats with very fat tires and a 10W30 Oil... before with the skinnier 225 tires and a 5W30 I was getting about 24 hwy and 20ish city...
