OK, so not only is it a flying/driving curiosity, but the efficiency specs also appear to be noteworthy (for an airplane).
I posted a previous article about a pilot who was pleased to get 20.7 mpg (US) in flight:

The company has already received 40 orders for the craft that is expected to sell for $194,000. Before you plunk down the refundable 10 grand to reserve your airframe, keep in mind you may have to wait a while before you can start getting 23 mpg at 100 mph. Terrafugia expects to deliver their first flying car sometime in 2010.
