From the Elio Store on EM website:

The Elio retail experience won’t follow the crowd, but it’s certain to attract one. Think “genius-bar” as opposed to in-your-face plaid jacket high pressure. For starters our future Retail Centers will be staffed and operated by Elio-trained certified specialists –people you can trust to know your Elio inside and out. Plus, everyone will get the same great price, which will eliminate the old-school haggling element found in traditional dealerships.

We’ll also offer plenty of custom options just in case you want to infuse your Elio with some extra personality. We can’t wait to see what you might have in mind.

They also say in the next segment, that you can order any options you like so you can have your Elio your way. :-) Z

No matter what you'll never see 84 mpg IMO.
When I got a new truck it advertised 24 mpg, it gets 21, on the highway. Every car or truck I ever owned never got advertised mileage. 84 mpg will be achieved by a test driver weighing 100lbs, no added weight on the vehicle what so ever. Laser alligned tires, Tire pressure accurate to .001 psi, precise humidity and dew point, slight tail wind, perfectly flat test track, precise throttle position that doesn't ever change set to 55 mph. In other words, expect 75 mpg and be happy with it.

It has been said here, that to get the 84mpg (at 65pmh) rating, (IIRC)It must be capable of 92(?) on flat open road.
I don't know how you drive but, I have always been able to get above advertised MPG's...and I live and drive in east Tennessee (not flat). :)

Then you should be getting 92 mpg I guess.
