any guess on mpg while in water ?

Is that miles per gallon of water taken onboard?

That would be an Amphicar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphicar), built from 1961-1968:


One owner was quoted "It's not a good car and it's not a good boat, but it does just fine" largely because of modest performance in and out of water. Another added, "We like to think of it as the fastest car on the water and fastest boat on the road."
In water as well as on land, the Amphicar steered with the front wheels, making it less maneuverable than a conventional boat. Time's Dan Neil called it "a vehicle that promised to revolutionize drowning", explaining, "Its flotation was entirely dependent on whether the bilge pump could keep up with the leakage."

Probably built in Kenya.
