With these specs I predict at a steady state speed of 70 mph a mpg on

Give me the authority and funding and ill have one ready for mass
priduction for you in 24 months.


The Loremo is scheduled to be on the market in 2009, getting over 100 MPG
(US), and seat 4.


At what price?


That depends upon the model.

http://evolution.loremo.com/content/view/98/141/lang,en/ gives 2 prices
depending upon the model.

Since the prices are in Euros, there's no telling what the actual price
will be IF the car is allowed into the US.

Also, the gas mileage has apparently gone down from earlier claims of 157
mpg and the weight has increased from 450 kg to "under 600" kg. This Loremo
AG startup sounds like it may be an investment scam to me, like the
all-plastic bicycle of the 1970's.
