You're hearing it right, but it's not right (unless you're in the US).
It works out at 84mpg (imperial) !?!

Ive got a 2cv engined ali 2 seater, inspired by 'The Book', but on original chassis so no lightweight. Lots of fun, does about 80 with the wind behind it. Whole different experience from driving the Locost, but I'm undecided which I prefer!
