[...] while ago I posted about a really interesting concept car called Loremo. I was pretty stunned in that post to find they were purporting 150 mpg. I think those numbers [...]

2.7L/100km ≈ 87.1 mpg (US gallons)
1.5L/100km ≈ 156.8 mpg (US gallons)

I do not think this car is for everyone. I think this is a great car for people that usually transport 1-2 people and do not need to carry many things in the trunk.

My understanding is that the back seats are only useful for children or smaller adults. The seats also serve as trunk space when not carrying people.

I think this would be a great car to have for commuting. If I needed a car with larger trunk space, I probably would have to look elsewhere.

I would like it if more automobile models were offered with this level of economy and style.

I probably would prefer the 3-cyl. 50HP GT model, although I will reserve judgement until I can actually test drive both LOREMO vehicles.

Horsepower is not everything. Torque is also important.

I was pleasently suprised with the drivability of the VW Golf TDI (4-cyl. Diesel) and it only had 90HP.

Hey Mark, i think 157 mpg is right. Maybe someone else can jump in and give another look. I’m talking on the LS model for the 157 mpg. Ah, the GT model gets 89 mpg – maybe that’s what you’re referring to?

You should check your calculation on converting l/100 km to mpg… I’m getting more like 87 mpg.

wow, those are impressive numbers. I wonder what a strong wind would do to this thing though
