its probably gets 110mpg based on the % of fuel that is gasoline. ie the fuel is 99% ethanol and 1% gas so the car runs a regular 20mpg but because only 1% of that fuel is gas it gets a magical 2000mpg (20/1%). Their probably doing something shifty like counting the ethanol as free energy and therefore not including the ethanol burned in their MPG calcs...
