What really makes this interesting is they did not do this on a dynometer, but actually put it on a test track.

Let's see my 1983 van got 16 MPG 20 years ago.
Today, however, my 2003 Chevy van gets.....16 MPG and costs twice what the 83 did.

Interesting to compare this (~180 pounds w/driver, 15mph, over 1000 miles) to the electric powered Segway (similar weight w/rider, similar speed, 20 mile range).
The Segway folks ought to look into building a hybrid...
