I was driving in eco mode for hours and saved about 10 miles, I then floored it down a slip road and lost about the same 10 miles in fuel range in 1 push !

@lennykibet6689 Год назад

For 3 years now I've been thinking that I'm the only one obsessed with driving efficiently, then you made this video. I'm so excited to find out that there's a whole community of efficient drivers out there!🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🔥

@ShogunsDojo Год назад

Very cool that you’ve put a spotlight on fuel economy Joe. People often say ‘you don’t buy a performance car for economy’ but most of us don’t have limitless money and even if we did there are better uses for it than wasting it with inefficient driving. As someone that moved from a 230i (perfect blend of economy and performance) to an M240i (worth the knock to economy for the sound alone, but still massively efficient) I do geek out on this stuff. Managed to average 46mpg in my manual car on a trip to wales so I’m good at not using fuel but it’s always good to spread the knowledge around!

@jm9371 Год назад

A different type of video; I learned something. Thank you Joe!

@TajwarC Год назад

Interesting video, many people will say "you're in the wrong car if you're worried about MPG" I think it's important to remember just because you have a quick car, it doesn't automatically mean you need to waste fuel when you don't need it! I managed 43mpg on a 40 or so mile run once in my N54 335i

@deanoearly8817 Год назад

Already knew a lot of what ya man said Joe about efficiency which is why I regularly see 30 to 40 mpg in comfort mode and even more in Eco mode on my daily trip to work and back in my M140i with mixed driving 😁😉👍

@juliantaylor461 Год назад

Interesting video @joeachilles . Reality is even if you drive a performance car you will have regular drives to do. I have an M340i, it averages around 40 to a gallon and on a motorway trip it's mid 40s. It makes it a superb all rounder. If I want fun I can but combined with adaptive suspension it is just about the best daily you could imagine.

@usherspike Год назад

Good stuff, always a pleasure watching your videos, am in 6 gear in 30Mph zone in my M2C, I recognise that early, also my rear tyres that came on the car last about 32k miles and the front 38k, the car needed Wheel alignment so BMW said I need to change the front tyres.

@ozemsadventureofrandomstuf252 Год назад

Awesome summary. Thanks Mr Joe. Ya I’ve seen that it’s those simple daily driving skills that help save fuel. Generally maintenance is on top of fuel efficiency😮and also since you spoke of tyres wheel alignment also really messes your efficiency and rotating tyres every 10000km or so does help a lot.. I barely even brake lol I simply release throttle and follow safe distance it helps you alot.👌🏽

@chooki101 Год назад

I find this topic extremely fascinating. I have a hot hatch and I'm always looking to beat my previous MPG PB and as a consequence driving like a grandma most of the time. Would have been nice to speak about the vehicle eco mode and whether it improves efficiency in a noticeable way. Possibly even different octane fuel.

Great video, Joe! The brake light fact is something I especially like - and something Tesla Model S drivers might be most familiar with thanks to the brake lights illuminating on the little Tesla illustration on the instrument cluster as well as the actual lights. Same goes for the indicators. A great nerdy detail.

@MrWesternDuke Год назад

Another interesting video Joe. If you watch Ashley Neal's videos, he talks about 'best flow' quite a bit. He is coming from the angle of good driving behavior, but it must also have a beneficial effect on fuel consumption. I would be curious to know what effect the Halfords Efficiency Pack would have on a manufacturer's/extended warranty as it is not part of the recommended service regime. P.S. My M2 Comp DCT returns about 5 mpg less that my previous 440i GC and do I care? In a word, NO - far more Smiles Per Gallon!😁

@tcecoleshaw Год назад

Yes it all makes a lot it of sense and all things I do in my diesel Astra. I suspect that good driving behaviour has a bigger impact on fuel economy than a Halfords economy pack and it would have been interesting to see a proper comparison. But of most interest, I want to see you do a proper economy run in the M2 now you've learnt how to drive more efficiently and show us the result

@Scala598 Год назад

I used to commute late at night with over 20 islands on my route. In that car i could let off the throttle 0.3 miles to each one, naturally slowing down in gear before driving straight over if traffic allowed. If I got each one that's over 6 miles of free motoring. Adds up when you do a journey like that regularly.

@stevepeary5322 Год назад

Have you thought about doing the IAM Roadsmart course and test. In my experience you will save at least 10% on your fuel costs just by driving to the System, and you will still make good progress

Unless I missed it was this video sponsored by Halfords by any chance? Just looked at the Fuel Pack and it’s only available as a service add on. Cheapest oil service is £130 + the £30 fuel pack 😮. You’ve got to be very fuel efficient to get that money back in savings.

@pietpottenbakker9714 Год назад

Which steering wheel spacer are you using Joe? Thanks

@mfpmf 8 месяцев назад

fuel efficiency should not be a priority over your engine's health in the long run. Imho being in a lower gear in the city will result in a bit more consumption but it will save the headache of a knocking engine and carbon buildup, when the rich mixture the ecu is putting in the cylinders in a higher gear. As a safety instructor said it on a debrief, 20 is 2nd, 30 is 3rd. If you are on a motorway without much traffic or nothing to do, go ahead and try hypermiling, but in the city, traffic, just try to use less brakes (so lower gear and engine brake is also a better choice)

Not sure this is right the channel Joe 🤔

@kobbetop Год назад

Bmw’s are pretty efficient. My 2.0 petrol G20 fuel consumption has been about 6.5 L/100km which is 45 mpg (UK) if i’m not mistaken. That’s about the same I had on a ’16 Fiesta with the 1 litre 3-pot ecoboost with 6sp auto…Bmw is clearly doing something right, the engine/transmission combo seems to work very efficiently. 👍

@AmadeusBrown Год назад

The fiestas with the auto transmissions are a lot less efficient than the manuals for some reason. I can easily get under 6L/100km combined in my 2017 1.0 ecoboost fiesta with the 5sp manual. If i drive just 60-80kmh roads i'll get 4.5-5.5l/100km.

@kobbetop Год назад

@@AmadeusBrown that’s interesting. I thought the double clutch auto is more efficient but that sounds like the manual is way better. I remember the current fiesta 2017-? auto box being a torque converter box again which must be even worse on fuel. I tested it and it felt slow so I kept my car because the double clutch auto was way better than the new one. Then switched to the G20 and was surprised how economical a traditional torque converter auto can still be.

The efficient driving tips are fine, and yes I also drive in an efficient manner (my average MPG with my M4 over 5k is around 34mpg including a couple of track days and a ring trip). The plug for the product is not - Not manufacturer approved , either by BMW (or any other manufacturer) or any oil company (Shell / Castrol, etc) and using it will invalidate your vehicle warranty. Replace any necessary filters in line with manufacturers guidelines. No additive based product will give any benefit other than to drain your wallet.

Did you know that a modern car cruising at 70mph (on the level and normal wind) is only using 15-20 BHP? A lot depends on aerodynamics, especially frontal area which is why SUVs are a disaster for economy, all things being equal. Huge power is only there for acceleration and if you use it, that’s when your fuel economy goes down.
