It can... but only on certain types of drives. I used to be able to get 87mpg on a 1.6 diesel turbo Peugeot 3008 mk1. So im sure this fuel sipping thing can do it. Its a real art and skill getting such mpg and understanding when to stay in gear etc and utilising hills and stops properly with good forward planning.

I had an 04 Laguna estate 1.9dci, that would get 70s on the motorway doing the limit. It was a 75 litre tank and could do about 1200 miles on a tank motorway driving. The 2000s diesels where peak efficiency without all the fancy electronics and batteries. I have an ioniq 2021, and it will do mid 60 early 70s around town (admittedly the Laguna would get 40s around town, which is still decent for the time). My hybrid ioniq is the opposite, 70s around town but 45ish on the motorway. So it's all about having the right tool for the job. I also had a 16 VXR and 19 Leon cupra estate in between the both averages sub 25mpg over their lifetime with me 15-20k each. The only issue (economy wise) with the ionic is the size of the tank, f'n 45litres. I detest filling up, I drive every car down brim to vapour, I hate filling up so much. One of the first things I do (within the first month, is see how many miles it will do after zero. The old diesels would get you 60 miles, new cars your lucky to get 20. My current car I start to panic at around 15 over.
Didn't autoalex do a range test in an Audi a2 a few years back?? Edit: the video was on car throttle 3 years ago called " I bought the Audi that everyone hates"
Recently I managed 97.1mpg on a long drive to London and back from the west midlands. That was in a modern Yaris hybrid. Not bad figures and I think 100mpg would be achievable if you drove faultlessly!
Seems like too short a test for any MPG accuracy, due to different pumps clicking off at different times. Much longer distance and filling up at exactly the same pump would be more accurate. Both of these are fantastic cars from an engineering point of view. Too bad that the design principles in them weren't adopted more widely. But I suppose it's the triumph of marketing and finance depts over engineering. Lightness through small size and material choice, aerodynamics, fuel efficient drive-trains, accepting modest performance.
The price of that fuel was insane. Did I really see £1.71? I don't care if it's petrol or diesel ! ! ! 1.71.9 for petrol, which would be better the "cheap" E10 fuel is taking the piss. Drive 5 mins off any exit and you'll find a supermarket selling E10 for 130s maybe 140s. That's is a massive difference if you're filling the tank.40 x 40pence is 16 quid a tank. I'd rather drive a more rounded saloon and take ten mins extra and save 16 quid than these things and eco them.
I'd assume Honda wanted to have the high efficiency tires designed with the car, but they may have chosen a quiet tire that sacrificed fuel economy? Also I'm one of the nerds that enjoys mathing myself out of the imperial system, it just makes sense. Does 3.78 litres per gallon make sense? does 5,280 feet to a mile make sense? The only comical retort I've ever heard to this is something along the lines of "I don't buy beer in 5 or 10 packs, I buy 6 and 12 packs"
Why does everyone neutral even Taylor in the V10 this uses more fuel then being in gear with no throttle where possible. I have gained 15 miles on one hill by leaving it in gear no throttle.
@@lauritsbarfoedbeck5421 yeah but engine brake down a hill in 6th gear still means you accelerate down the hill and save fuel at the same time because its not in idle
@@seany8787you cant say engine breaking down a hill in 6th gear you will accelerate. Depends on how steep the hill is, how fast you are already going, etc..
Being in gear with no throttle doesnt always use less fuel than going to neutral. Depends on how steep the hills is, how fast you go, gearing, etc. The faster you go, the less impact idle fuel consumption makes on your MPG. Check out the video "Engine Braking vs Coasting" by Mick Drives Cars
I did the same maths and also got 59mpg (so I rounded up to 60mpg) at the start. So unless we are both stupid(very posible) being told its 74mpg does not bode well for a mpg challenge. 😅
After 15 years of being an automotive enthusiast, I still don’t understand how British people can buy such cheap cars. Can someone explain this to me please
Simple, what you may 'personally' like & find acceptable isn't necessarily what other people may 'personally' like & find acceptable. VICE/VERSA. Also, bear in mind that these 2 cars are of German & Japanese origin & were (still are in regards to the Honda Insight) sold around the world.
Second hand cars in France and Spain, for example, seem to have much higher prices for similar age and specification cars. The UK still has a lot of company cars and that pushes a.lot of cars onto the second hand market when leases finish. This will tend to suppress second hand values of older cars,I believe.

Am I the only one who cares that they are comparing a diesel mpg to a petrol one? Seriously, it is a completely different fuel with a different amount of chemical energy. It is no wonder the Audi won. In fact the Honda is probably more economical if you correct for energy in the fuel.
550 miles for à tank. What kind of driving were you doing? The best I've seen I'd 340-350. So you are getting 200 miles more. What mods have been done to enable this ?
Neutral is not how you get better mileage. Once in neutral, the engine starts to idle, which uses fuel. When in gear, the engine uses the rotation of the wheels to the transmission to turn the engine and not use fuel. So really you didn't help your mileage at all by doing neutral.
Wow, that A2 gets twice my mpg as I only manage to get 50-52 mpg out of my freelander 2002 td4 that's been modified. Like cat and egr valve delete, and chip tuned..

nice video well a couple things. the audi got higher mpg cause its a DIESEL. second, when you are in NEUTRAL coasting you are consuming fuel. when in GEAR COASTING you are NOT consuming FUEL.
Impressive, yes but when my c6 is getting 60mpg on the motorway in utter comfort and air con on, my health comes first. Wonder if they done this over a longer stretch, back and forth, what toll it would take on them
battery at 65%, and the engine idled for an hour... 85kw battery for an hour is similar to "250kw/hr at the power plant" ... bill of EV battery recharge cost adds up to an equivalent of 18.5US gallons to that of 43 miles, your getting 2.32mpg/us or *2.02mpg/uk with idling the engine*. the worst fuel economy their is and doesn't know past the free charger station again. 1.93mpg/us w/electrical grid costs at point of actual industry cost not a lite use toaster, so that was a $63 drive of $1.60/mile. bozo thinks their saving money just because they don't pay the electrical bill, evicted from residence "no reason" drives to another place... plugs it in and... every month the land lord gets that bill of $70/day that they charged the battery, eviction... again and again. till the room rent bill goes up by 2k/month because that bill has taxable income added to it.

It is left-hand drive only. I lived on the continent for 24 years, and there are a few for sale in Poland and Germany. That is where you can buy them and import them to the UK.
113mpg, lot of shite
They have 100% worked this out wrong. I’ve got one and doing they driving they did it would be 65mpg max
Still better with out Alex!
Boring 😴 sorry guys I tried to watch it.
Nice one, 🚗 🚘
nice video
well a couple things.
the audi got higher mpg cause its a DIESEL.
second, when you are in NEUTRAL coasting you are consuming fuel. when in GEAR COASTING you are NOT consuming FUEL.
Impressive, yes but when my c6 is getting 60mpg on the motorway in utter comfort and air con on, my health comes first. Wonder if they done this over a longer stretch, back and forth, what toll it would take on them
my 125cc bike uses more XD
battery at 65%, and the engine idled for an hour... 85kw battery for an hour is similar to "250kw/hr at the power plant" ... bill of EV battery recharge cost adds up to an equivalent of 18.5US gallons to that of 43 miles, your getting 2.32mpg/us or *2.02mpg/uk with idling the engine*. the worst fuel economy their is and doesn't know past the free charger station again. 1.93mpg/us w/electrical grid costs at point of actual industry cost not a lite use toaster, so that was a $63 drive of $1.60/mile. bozo thinks their saving money just because they don't pay the electrical bill, evicted from residence "no reason" drives to another place... plugs it in and... every month the land lord gets that bill of $70/day that they charged the battery, eviction... again and again. till the room rent bill goes up by 2k/month because that bill has taxable income added to it.
Right gave yas a chance, unsubbed.
This is why I no I longer watch this channel. About as interesting as watching paint dry. Alex did type the best thing by leaving...
Not watching but still commenting? hmm
