This link mentions 80mpg for the three wheelers:
http://www.extremetoystore.com/scooters/bajaj/3wheelers.htm

I can attest that I have a scooter with nearly the same engine (slightly smaller displacement, but slightly higher horsepower), and I easily get about 108 mpg.

It's a really nice 4 cycle engine design, not just efficient, but the cleanest burning ~150cc out there (my scoot is 145cc, this three wheeler is 175cc). They both have 4-speed manual transmissions to make the most of the small engine (8.5hp and 9hp respectively).

I can't recommend them enough (and I think I've done so no less than twice today...).

on edit:
Okay, I know what you're thinking: "What's this?! I thought the cars of the future would be cool looking!?"

Well, I think the looks grow on you. Think of it as sort of 'Volkswagen Bug-like'. :)
