1223 miles from Africa to the UK on one tank of fuel Wilson: . and I bet that Mercedes was just as standard as the Jaguar that Jeremy Clarkson drove from Switzerland to Blackpool on one tank of fuel. Jaguar put a lot of work into preparing their car, blueprinting the engine, using high mileage but good condition gearbox and rear differential, carefully -lapped- in, changing the rake of the car to more nose down, low rolling resistance tyres, special brake calliper seals that pulled the pads back from the discs, when not in use and so on and so on.

Except this is in no way realistic! Nobody drives 90km/h on a highway other than trucks! (and even they go faster) People drive mostly at the speed limit or over it which is around 130km/h for most of europe. It is at THAT speed that cars should be tested, not some hypermiling garbage.

Driving 1223 miles a an all-gasoline or diesel car would be a lot more impressive, and it is actually quite achievable. Just ask the major oil companies (yeah. those who sell us the fuel) if they have not shelved technology that would have allowed cars to do that over 60 years ago.

Ok it made it, try it in a petrol car. The UK is determined to ban diesel from the cities. this just shows me they are all nuts.
You needed to show us the remaining range, fill the tank up, this would show how many litres of petrol and cost of the petrol used.

Can a Tesla or any electric car do this on a single charge?
I don't think so
Internal combustion diesel engines still rule no matter how much you think they pollute.

not a bad attempt to film this - need to make it more dramatic with delays eta. Also there was NO showing if the fuel gauge!
thought that was the whole point

You know you're british when you can't visualise the amount of fuel he will use. But as soon as he mentioned -half a barrel of beer- you instantly can ahaa.

Adventurous but what a waste of fuel. Why should people care about this? The official test fuel economy figures should be good enough for a car buyer.

Next challenge: Getting from the Good ol' Down Undah' Austrailia to Yeehaw States of America with one tank of fuel(and a little help from air cargo)

Lol these have an 80 litre fuel tanks! So it averaged 69 mpg. I think Honda did something similar with a diesel civic and averaged over 100 mpg.
