The Elio is a motor tricycle that seats two and is capable of achieving 84 miles per gallon thanks to its lightweight, aerodynamic design and 3-cylinder, 0.9-liter gas engine. If deterred by the Elio"s small footprint, slight seating capacity and modest performance, keep in mind its projected retail price of under $7,000 and the little 3-wheeler starts to make a bit more sense. Host Jonathon Buckley heads to Ontario, California to test the prototype Elio and meet its maker, Paul Elio.
