157 miles per gallon!?
March 8th, 2006 | by mbhunter |Ran across this post on 2c Worth about the Loremo LS — 157 miles per gallon, set to come out in 2009.
It has a top speed of about 100 MPH and a 2-cylinder, 20-HP turbo diesel engine. (Heh: That’s the same power as the engine in my riding lawn mower!) It has room for 4 passengers and weighs only about 1000 pounds.
I’ve driven a Prius and the pick-up on that was all right. (Nowhere near the Camaro convertible we drove on our honeymoon, but that’s another story.) I don’t know about the pickup on this one, though. Will it be like cracking the whip on a bunch of hamsters or will it be acceptable?
In any case, I’m going to be watching for it. That’s five times the gas mileage I get now with my Achieva.
Are you going to be looking for fuel efficiency for your next vehicle, or is what you have all right?

Hey, thanks for visiting – and the link.
This car looks good, and sounds just up a frugal alley; just hope it (or something else similar) does come out soon.

I’m happy with my Toyota, but I will definitely be looking for a fuel efficient car after my car dies (hopefully a long time from now – that’s why I got a Toyota).
But on the more off topic but still relevant note, Happy (Belated) Birthday, MBHunter! Hope you had a great time with family!
