The problem is that it's really hard to say that because this is classified as a motorcycle. That's a plus for designers because they don't have to meet things like stringent crash test rules. For MPG that matters because they can save significant weight. Now 84 MPG sounds like a good deal when compared to a car, but compared to a motorcycle it's not really a huge leap.
It's a trike, and you'll have to get a Motorcycle license to drive one(at least in most places today). Insurance will also be motorcycle insurance. But the plus is motorcycle MPG and the ability to use carpool lanes by yourself in some states.
Realistically this isn't a terribly novel concept they've tried to market a bunch of trikes in the past few years to make riding less intimidating and 'easier' but none of them have really taken off.
