A few years back EVO was easily the worlds best ca, really impressed with it then. Now there is a new king, appeared just a concept car designed to show off Lotus race prep capabilities.
It was meant to be their vision of a GT racer using the Exige chassis, but they didn’t seem to have any further plans for it. They ultimately called it the Exige 300R. At the time it looked to me that the car would do the show circuit as a fancy Lotus concept car and that’d be the end of it. A damn shame that would have been if my thoughts were correct. Here are some of the specs:
1580 LBS
Full dry carbon widebody
400hp DTM spec 3.0L V6
Hewland sequential transmission
Motec M8, Ohlins custom suspension, AP brakes, etc.
Now, a high revving 400hp 6cyl and a sequential transmission in a 1580 package–that just sounds like an insane death machine. How insane you ask?

Here the fuel saving tips compiled moneytips.
- Slow down - just follow the speed limit
- Check your tire pressure - at least once a month, in cool condition.
- accelerate moderately
- turn off air conditioner - (only applicable at night)
- keep the original - don’t upgrade your car with fancy rim or tyre
- reduce your car weight
- downsize - use a smaller car (CLK? Cute Little Kancil.)
- Don’t drive - those without driving license don’t spend much on fuel
- Avoid extremely high speeds
- Don’t brake hard
- Keep windows closed at high speed (of course with air-con on)
- Service vehicle regularly
- Maintaining a constant speed
- Avoid long idles - turn it off if it is going to be idle for more than 1 minute
- Warming up engine is not necessary
- Be sure the automatic choke is disengaged after engine warm up
- Buy fuel during coolest time of day - early morning or late evening is the best.
- Use credit card with fuel rebate
- Never fill gas tank past the first “click” of fuel nozzle, if nozzle is automatic.
- Manual shift driven cars allow you to change to highest gear as soon as possible, thereby letting you save fuel.
- Think ahead when approaching hills. If you accelerate, do it before you reach the hill, not while you’re on it.
- Avoid rough roads whenever possible - dirt or gravel rob you of up to 30% of your fuel mileage.
- Use alternate roads when safer, shorter, straighter.
- Place gear into neutral position when waiting at traffic light
- Park car so that you can later begin to travel in forward gear
- Inspect suspension and chassis parts for occasional misalignment.
- Set air conditioners to auto if available
- Car pools reduce travel monotony and fuel expense
- Do whatever possible online, by phone etc such as banking, document delivery, shopping etc
- when filling up, don’t squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the fastest mode
- Fill up when your tank is half full
- Sometime it is worth to pay the toll
- Look further to anticipate obstacle - don’t tailgate
- Park at shaded car park - save your air-con
- No unnecessary external accessories
- Monitor your odometer or tripmeter
- Use K-link fuel saver? If it really works, you don’t have to advertise it in this desperate situation.
- Plan ahead by combining your errands into one trip
- Plan your trips so you go out during less-congested times of day.
- Work from home
- Take public transportation (I am just kidding)
- Cycling to work - it might be better than taking the public transportation
- Use NGV - read this real experience by Fathersez
- When going downhill, ease your throttle down and work with gravity to build up speed.
- Move nearer to your work place
- Use cruise control only on flat road
- When there is a timer on traffic light showing “99″ seconds and stays still, off your engine.
- Scrap your car if all the above fail.
- Buy BMW (men lap iu) or Mercedes (men siu lee) - This is a joke if you know Hokkien.
Do you know more tips and if there is any left out?

FYI: This letter was written by a Loyal Toyota Owner in US.
Below is the letter that he wrote to Toyota. The other day he got a phone call: "Thank you for your letter. We’ve received a lot of CNG inquiries lately. We’ll forward your letter to the management right away. But we do not guarantee anything". At least they acknowledge CNG existence.

Dear Toyota representative,
I have no illusions regarding this letter, but at least I hope you will read it.
If you are in US, you know what the gas prices are. According to New York Times this will put 10 million vehicles off the roads within the next 3 years! I would like to suggest Toyota to start selling it’s alternative fuel models, namely Crown Comfort (LPG) and Probox (CNG) in US.
To get more info about either one of these fuels, please visit www.cngchat.com. But first let me remind you that Honda is already selling CNG Civic GX to the public, and is hugely successful, especially in places like California and Utah, where CNG is easily accessible and cheap. Why is my favorite Toyota hesitating?
