Do your bit for the enviroment
Wizzo:
Any of you saving up for a Toyota Prius ::) will be interested to know that this Loremo concept might triple your karma points for half the price.
The German-designed car’s super light chassis, tiny diesel engine and slippery shape give it a claimed fuel consumption of over 188mpg :o That’s roughly three times that of the electric-petrol hybrid Toyota, which theoretically achieves 65.7mpg.
What more could you want? Well there is a couple of negatives:
* Loremo says weight was an important issue to achieving a high MPG.......To keep weight down, the car has no doors. The front two seats are accessed by hinging the whole front of the car up. Two rear-facing passengers climb in through the boot!
* Loremo says that the lightweight chassis and aerodynamic body give the car a sporty feel.......... It has about the power of two 125cc scooters, gets you to sixty in 20 seconds.
Loremo have promised a much faster GT version of the car.........there goes the MPG then! ::)

Hang on a mo! Wheres this going?
Coming from somebody with 7 cars on their drive and somebody who drinks petrol for breakfast, the words kettle, pot and black spring to mind. ;)
This is an F1 website hardly the place to criticise fuel economy :D
Anyway I only drink spring water, surely that counts for something? ;D
