The Honda Clarity won't messure it's economy in MPG. Instead, it's measuring MPKG (Miles Per Kilogram) of hydrogen. It's rated 49 mpkg city and 46 mpkg highway.

It doesn't have an MPG rating, but Honda says you can drive 270 miles on one hydrogen fill up.

Since a kilogram of gaseous hydrogen fuel is roughly equivalent to a gallon of gasoline, this Honda's 4.1-kg tank delivers a cruising range of 270 miles with 0.2 kg of fuel in reserve. Although it says 270 miles per tank after doing the math, the mileage on the Clarity is going to equate to 68 mpg. The fuel costs about $5 per gallon right now, but since the Clarity gets 68 mpg, filling the tank is still a bargain.
