WTF: 157 Miles PER GALLON!?

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=1000

Loremo AG set to debut 2+2 coupe that gets over 150 MPG

The $13,000 Loremo LS weighs just 992 lbs and features a two cylinder turbo-diesel engine pumping out a hardly earth shattering 20HP. The mid-engine, RWD coupe gets roughly 157 miles per gallon and has a cruising range of 807 miles. It goes 0-60 in 20 seconds and has a top speed of 99 MPH.

A more powerful $17,800 Leromo GT will also be available. It weighs in slightly more at 1,036 lbs and features a 3 cylinder turbo-diesel with 50 HP. It gets 87 miles per gallon, has a cruising range of 497 miles, goes 0-60 in 9 seconds and tops out at 137 MPH.

Both will come standard with airbags, radio and particle filter. Options will include a dashboard computer, A/C, MP3 player, navigation system, and leather.






My big concern is the WEIGHT. The LS eighs less than 1,000 lbs. What if a strong breeze hits you or you accellerate on a highway....will it be SUZUKI SAMURAI Flipover time all over again?
