Can you improve your miles per gallon with just £50 to spend on mods? Fuel is EXPENSIVE at the moment. So, we tried to turn 3 cheap cars into greenified ecoboxes to save some money.
So let’s see what we did to the cars
Here’s the challenge. £10 of fuel in the UK gets you roughly 6 litres of fuel. We need to get to a pub that I’ve chosen in Bell End which is 47 miles away. That means we’d need to AVERAGE over 35mpg. That’s an easy job for your Nan’s Yaris, but not an easy job for these three idiots in these three cars.
So, the challenge was set. But, before we’d even left the car park, Callum’s TT was already causing him problems.

I like how the TT was all covered in tape but nothing was done about the spoiler in the back, whose job is to literally grab wind and force the car down.

@Sugurain Год назад

I recall Audi adding the spoiler because the TT had so little traction on the rear axis it was actually dangerous and unpredictable to drive.

@HostileLemons Год назад

@@Sugurain the shape of the boot caused lift at high speed.

@m0rb1d43 Год назад

The spoiler on the TT doesn't just reduce lift, it also reduces drag.

@shaft9000 Год назад

Whoa, you're conflating two different purposes here: Spoiler = to reduce turbulence, and so reduce drag (inverted) Wing = to create downforce directly above the contact patch of the tire, achieved by _ increasing drag_ or iow, think about what a bird's wing flapping does - it contacts more and more turbulent air to generate lift. Now flip it, invert it = downforce.

the spoiler is there to reduce aerodynamic drag...

I managed to gain about 11mpg (compared to the claimed figures) over a 250 mile trip in my WRX by doing the whole thing around 60mph steadily on motorways. The trade-off was very much the extra time spent 😒

@ClaytonBrownMusicOfficial 27 дней назад

PSA for anyone who reads this: Higher numbers at the gas pump is actually just a rating of the fuel’s stability-its ‘Octane’ rating. Higher Octane rated fuel produces smoother, more controlled combustion, leading to improved performance and fuel economy.

If you think about it, Top Gear did a wonderful clip about it. Remember the M3 vs the Prius one-liter challenge? The M3 won despite having like... What? A 4L 444hp V8 against a dinky 1.6L hybrid. Sometimes, it's not the bigger engine that kills your fuel but how you drive and how big the tank is in the car.

1:38 Looks like Scott doesn't know how the octane rating works. It does not provide more power to these old cars, it isn't more energy-dense. It simply prevents detonation in high-compression engines, as found in new performance cars.

@jarikinnunen1718 Год назад

If you are really looking for less air resistance, woolen threads will tell you if the flow is laminar or turbulent. Long tail reduces resistance by about 5%. The water drops not have tail in reality and they have smallest air resistance. The golf ball have lower resistance, because it make little turbulence and flow is less turbulence in its backside.

Год назад

Covering the air & radiator inlet won't do much as it is a stagnation area (perpendicular to the flow), but wheels and flat bottom do. Cutting a ~rectangular hole above the fr. wheel and behind rear wheel would be also a nice gain.

Ya'll may want to take that title away from Scott. Formula 1 fuel actually has only a small amount more energy per unit than gasoline. Formula 1 fuel is 12,889 watt-hours per kilogram. Regular Gasoline is 43 megajoules per KG. 1 MJ is is 277.77 watt hours. 43 megawatts, 11,944 watt-hours. About 8% more energy. For him to get 6 mpg better, with the only change being an 8% increase in fuel density, he would have needed to be getting 150 mpg to begin with. Would love to see a better laid-out experiment to test how much each of these methods actually increases fuel economy, and the speeds at which their benefits come to the greatest fruition, since most of the stuff you guys tried doing is based in aerodynamics. Still, thanks much for the video!
