In a quest for ultimate fuel efficiency, the Car Throttle team embarked on a daring challenge to test if a £600 Audi A2 could achieve a jaw-dropping 100 MPG. The team faced obstacles on the road, including a pesky lorry, while pushing the Audi to its limits. Quick modifications were made to the car, with makeshift aerodynamic improvements using gaff tape and cardboard wheel spats.
Comparing the Audi A2 to the Honda Insight, another MPG-focused vehicle, the team delved into the unique features of each car. The Honda Insight, with its teardrop shape and magnesium components, proved to be a formidable contender in the efficiency race. Despite facing challenges and miscalculations along the way, the team celebrated the Audi A2's impressive 92.8 MPG result.
Acknowledging the Honda Insight's lightweight design and aerodynamic prowess, the team praised the car for its efficiency and performance. The test drive highlighted the dedication to fuel economy in the automotive world, showcasing how innovative engineering and design can lead to remarkable MPG figures. The Car Throttle team's journey not only tested the limits of these budget-friendly cars but also demonstrated the enduring appeal of eco-friendly driving in a world obsessed with speed and power.
