25.8 Miles on 1.1L, the Octavia has a 55 Liter fuel Tank. If you could keep that fuel economy up for the whole time, thats 1290 miles or 2076km on one tank
Hard to think a 1.9 tdi engine, would go 2.6l/100km, combined cycle.
They were testing it in the city and outside, if i've seen correctly.
Thanks
I always love to see Miles back on the videos!
Coolest car in the channel hands down
Me too
It's really good when he makes it to #11 on trending
I love it just that bit more because it's so similar to the car I drive the most, our family Skoda Octavia, manual TDI, approaching 400 000 km

One way to find out
Have you been neglecting Miles? He's covered in cobwebs.
Alex did a story on instagram a few weeks ago where they got this and the 330d touring out of storage where they sat pretty much since the miles project ended, so...
speaking about neglecting, where is phil
R8 I think he sold him
R8 Phil is coming back soon it’s got a new engine and on his instagram he said he’ll be doing a video soon
@@RawRapper I thought he just plonked a V6?
i saw Miles being driven by Ethan today on the M40 :) 60mph ;)
You just redid the interior! Why not wash your hands?! Miles deserves respect.
Oh yea, wait a sec, just need to find a sink and scrub in the middle of the street.
True agree, need more respecc on Miles
He already given respect to miles by repairing her. People dump it otherwise
@@colaface1630 My dad always has wet wipes in the trunk...So...yeah...that could work as a sink and scrub anywhere. :P :)

So about 41,5 km on 1 litre of Diesel... *opens a Gumtree tab*
1,1L, with some obviously left in the filter and tank :P Any 90PS VW 1.9 will do that, the PD versions do a bit less.

@DMD could do like 20 miles on a motorbike
Of course lunch is on you now that you've proven beyond doubt that your fuel bill is like £7.45 annually.
Well, Ethan drives a Prius so it's pretty neck and neck... oh wait, what about a head 2 head???
@@ernodios In the city driving Prius wins, out on the open road Miles wins.
Jealous as, my Petrol Landcruiser costs around that just driving to the shops.
no id say around $200$ haha :)
a Prius vs Miles, who can go the farthest on a set amount of fuel.
In the city a Prius because of the regen braking and stop start system that favours city driving. Out on the Motorway or in the countryside Miles would beat the Prius as all the advantages it has in the city would be of no use and the hybrid system would end up a dead weight.
yes!!
Miles win's for shure
@@gravemind6536 I wouldn't be so certain.. Can a Prius go under 3,5L driving in city? With right braking, Miles can go under 4L/100km with diesel of course.

good luck with it breaking
My dad had a 2001 Fabia Combi (break) with the 1.9 TDI 105hp and he got rid of it in 2016 after 270.000km just because his hip went bad and he needed a taller car, engine running like new, with abnormally high power and torque for its figures and great fuel economy, even if its suspensions were totally worn and it was bouncy as a boat.

The thumbnail looks like he's not sure what to do with his "drivers lucozade" 😂😂
Alex is like the perfect British petrol head 😂💯
this happens to me each week
We answered the question no one asked.
so miles does 113mpg? lol
Good point, clearly there must have been some fuel left in the tank, which couldnt be drained easily
Well you can drive it woth 3.5liters for 100kilometer ive done it.
@@peterzingler6221 However the first few miles the engine needs to be warmed up, therefore consuming much more fuel. There are many things to take into consideration like elevation change, wind etc, but i think 25 is not possible to do with 1 litre and a cold engine
One other thing to consider is with a near empty tank there is a lot less weight in the car
urbex2007 they run the engine dry, nothing left in any rails, even if there was, it would be mills not litres.
They're were probably driving around 45-50mph which would be the most efficient for that car.

Your back with a proper video.....been binge watching and then bam brick wall no proper videos for 3 weeks
6:40 into the video. Fella trying to be a motoring journalist and failing miserably
Last time i was this early i commented about you hurry tf up with the k20 Prelude build...
From other comments that I've seen I think that they are putting it on hold for a bit because apparently the company they were collabing with got "exposed for selling fake parts"
1:34 Song is "Pull Me Closer" by Deanz featuring Ed Mills.
Mr. ADR thank you so much bud! I Couldn't find it anywhere :D
People always talk about sediment at the bottom of a fuel tank. Can you actually open one up and prove it?
Daniel Wilson
People are idiots, the fuel pick-up is always on the bottom of the tank, otherwise you'd run out of fuel on a full tank.
Diesel tanks can rust due to water and algae can grow in tanks.
Yes, you can find actual sediments in a fuel tank. Older vehicles with metal tanks will often have rust flakes. The modern plastic tanks will eventually have particles of various trash
ruclips.net/video/Te3Siaq9kKY/видео.html
@@Robert-cu9bm Yes if Diesel is left to sit in the tank for too long algae and other nasties will grow in the fuel but if the car is in regular use this will not happen as the diesel will likely never be more than 1 month old.
1:04 I love that bit
I was hoping to see ribena flowing when you were draining the tank 😂
thejoneseys Knock knock "hello it's the ministry here" 😂😂
I was getting low in my Vectra and almost at the garage, although still had 30 miles left on the computer, as it was on a downward hill it cut out, as the fuel sender was out of the fuel.
You have to do a 1000 challenge! Please! I reckon you could, choose nice smooth flat roads like Netherlands. Brim it and cruise at 50-55 mph.
@Birman Hitman Just shur down for the downhills and let it roll :D
The wry smile of a man eating a free lunch. Class 😏
That's crazy, I thought my backup car (diesel lupo) was good on fuel but that's double. 1000 Mile challenge next?
Respect, Camper Conversion
Camper Conversion No lies, my Clio mk2 1.5 td (65 hp) got 84 mpg last week on the motorway. It does 50-55 urban
It's unbelievably cheap to run. Oh and £30 road tax too
It translates to 41.28 kmpl. That's insane I have bikes which give less mileage than a Skoda.
With empty fuel tank does 99 miles
And with 1 litre does 26
That last “thank you” is... legendary. 🤣
I’m sad you got a diesel handprint on the ceiling lining behind the drivers seat 😭
That face Alex makes when Ethan says thank you 😂😂😂
Always a pleasure to see miles.
Great content guys, as always. Love your videos
Keep it up!
LMAO, theres cob webs in the back
Lol as i read your comment, ethan was scratching his head.
Love to watch this nice, mint, cunning, jolly young fellows play with their cars like little chaps. They always make my day a little bit brighter. Thanks fellas, cheers.
When I saw car throttle I clicked!.......... Btw where's the Honda prelude kswap???
The 1000 mile with one tank of fuel challenge should be easy. I drive a similar 1.6 litre Octavia combi and I often get 1500km on one tank of course with some left in it. So if you don't screw it up and use backroads with a lot of coasting, like I drive, you can definitely do it.
1:34 caught me off guard completely 😂
What song is it I wonder?
Where is his head
Kinson Lau lmk if you get it lol
1,9 TDI is the best.
I'm driving a Golf 4 1,9 TDI 90 PS in Germany and it's amazing. Don't know when I last time refueled
Here's a better title:
"How Long Can We Keep FORGETTING About PROJECT PRELUDE???"
Loved that soft focus 80s look from the diesel-smudged camera.
Cobweb at 4:31 shows miles gets lots of use 😂
My car does 100 miles a day five days a week and is covered in cobwebs, especially the mirrors.
What's happening with the Honda Prelude??? Been ages since we've had a video. Also, good to see Miles again.
Stop teasing us with the 1000 mile challenge and do it already 😊👍
I love that Miles is a VW parts bin car, I, in México, own an old Jetta, around the same generation as Miles and it has the same odometer, some of the same dashboard buttons, the same steering wheel and could dare to say the same seats
7:02
If you're wondering why it's rainbowy it's because iPhones use the old LCD tech screens that no one uses anymore
1st generation of Octavia is a well made car... I'VE mained 2 of them and quality of the build is awesome.
3:50 the most English thing I’ve ever seen and heard
Hello to all does anyone know the name of that song 🤔
Wondering the same thing

One week later I've managed to find it myself the song and artist is pull me closer by deanz
😆
@@MrMrmarkpeck Ty
Still no update on the Prelude? Okay then, keep your secrets.
I was inspired by your Videos about Miles and when I had the oppertunity I bought a Skoda Octavia which has run 585.000km (363502 miles). And beside that my Car was not taken Care of well, it is a great Car und runs just fine
So thank you for giving me the confidence to buy that Car.
Him: I Dont like this hill
Me: Come to Holland
Glad to see Octavia again :)
So in summary, Miles did a marathon on 1L diesel in an hour. 🏃♂️🏃♀️
First video of u watched but had to sub right away :D I love your harmless humor
I’ve got to say that’s one fuel efficient car. 25.8 divided by 1.1= 23.45 And since the conversion for litres to gallons is 4.546 23.45 X 4.546 = 106.6 your car somehow did 106.6 mpg
Yes, 106.6 matematically but in practise, it is like around 85-95 depends how you drive ofc. I have Octavia 1.9TDI 66kW ver. If u know what 66kW has, rotation fuel pump or what it is called, driven a lot, mine has 360k and this rotation pump never had a single problem. There is also other type of fuel transport and that is called PD or Pumpe Diesel or Pumpe nozzle i dont know exactly but this type gives you better performance, torque and feeling from the ride but it gives you higher consumption which is like 4-5L/100km but it can be driven to suck even less fuel also. In Slovakia we have most of the roads " hilly " with goood slopes and my best average consuption was 3.5L/100km which is really, really good. I drove 1377km with one fuel tank fully filled to the brim but it was mostly on highways and countryside roads outside the city.
I love Miles videos
This eats every challenge you put on it.
What an Hero.
Why is Opel called Vauxhall in the UK?
Vauxhall is from Vauxhall in the UK
YAY! More miles! Can you please make a video where you go on the Nuremberg ring again with the new specs, just to see if he will make better time.
Or maybe commit to making Miles into a racing car or something?
So you got 2.65ltr /100km? that's amazing
We're you always using the 4th gear?
Miles Is BACK!!!
I was at a petrol station a few days ago, the diesel was cheaper than the petrol. Glad to see diesel being phased out this quickly
That's just seasonal the demand for desel hearing oil used in much of the northan hemisphere is low in the summer and people burn more petrol on trips in summer. It will change once it gets colder.
Miles really showed his true colors. Over 20 miles off a liter...great job💪💪💪💪 And he was so neglected. 🤔🤔🤔Still surprised all... Great video again. Looking forward to more..
My evo would get about 3 miles on a litre
Good video lads!
Skoda Octavia, what a car!
I've a 2006 tdi 2.0L and get around 550 miles per tank usually. Had as much as 610 miles once but that was 80% motorway. If I drove gently I should get 650-700 miles a tank. Phenomenal car.
4:59 what it's like to drive the through bradford
Agreed 😂
Always happy to see Miles again.
7:27 u , so i watched thsi at 11 pm and u mad me super hungry
Mx5 update!!
Imagine using Miles in 2019
I had a bleed under the hood with a hand pump to prime the pump if i ran out of diesel. I also usedvtonout a cup of petrol into a rank if diesel as it seemed to kerp the system clean and seemed to run better. I once put 2 litres if canola oil and galf a cup of metho into my diesel when i ran out. It ran fine.
After all the work that Miles had done to him, he's filthy and a rogue Web kept attaching itself to Ethan.
"We answered a question no one asked" 😂
4:17
Egg check -> Successful
I hope you’re taking good cares of Miles! He’s the only reason I subscribed to this channel!
“Suck up all the sludge from the bottom of the tank” except the pump sits in the bottom of the tank and is always drawing from there.
Some of it will float in the diesel
And cars have fuel filters for that exact reason..
@@forresttm fuel filters aren't magic, if the tank is full little bits of sediment will go into the filter at a time, when it's low big clumps could go in at once and it cant handle that happening too often.
@@RWoody1995 Complete BS. There is no magic level where different sized sediments reside. Fuel tanks are generally extremely clean and most fuel systems have pre-filtering screens in the tank.
@@DiscoFang i didn't say anything about different sized sediments, i said big clumps (a clump meaning multiple little pieces), it's pretty basic really, example: make a cup of coffee notice all the bits of coffee powder floating around in it that didn't dissolve into the water? of course you don't, for every 100ml of coffee you consume you only consume a small amount of undissolved coffee powder because most of it sinks to the bottom and whats left floating in the top 90% of the cup is say, 5% of the total amount. drink 90% of the coffee and then when drinking the rest you start to notice it as the remaining 95% of the powder comes into you all at once. The same thing happens in a fuel tank. The filter can easily manage that small 5% being fed into it over the course of its service life, but give it everything in the tank at once and it's not gonna be happy in the long run.
Of course in modern cars fuel tanks are cleaner as they are plastic, but it is a different story for older cars with metal tanks which rust slightly over time as trace amounts of water get into the tank over the years.
3:30 : Minecraft villager. Lol
In my 125cc motorcycle you can drive around 50km with a litter of gasoline
My 110 cc Honda motorcycle gives 68 km per litre of petrol.
Yep, less pistons, less friction, less losses, better mpg. A diesel motorcycle would be better with fuel, but boring.
@@vladmihai306 and more shaky and loud

Next Challenge: Go up North with £1.36, take it to a street corner.....
Results please?
A Punch for being cheeky..😉
Given that the fuel tank on this is wide and fairly lumpy, I question whether this actually used a litre of fuel to do the mileage shown. The car moving about would undoubtedly slosh some fuel from other areas of the tank into the pick-up, allowing you to go further. What would be far more interesting would be to have a tall thin clear fuel tank in the car that has a litre variance shown on it. Not only do you not have to run out, but you can be absolutely sure how much fuel you've used.
gt6 mission lol
Haha
MILES!!!! You're back!!! YES!
