How far do you think your car could go on one tank of fuel?

Hypermiling makes any car journey more interesting! I do little informal hypermilings all the time. The most memorable one was Oslo to Riga via Stockholm-Tallinn ferry in a 2001 Mini Cooper, ran out of fuel in a Riga suburb. The backrest mechanism on the passenger side broke early on so my friend had to hunch forward on almost the entire drive. Good times

I never really hypermiled my car but at 110-120 kmh I can do 1350km in one tank. 2014 520d Wagon 6 Speed Manual. It has a 70 Liter tank. Great Video btw I really enjoyed watching it. How much did it cost you to get your car to the states?

I had run my 2.8 swaped e36 from Latvia to the UK not too long ago, didn't really hyper mile as not to disrupt traffic, I never ran it to empty, more like half a tank or so, not to let the fuel pump go dry. I think it did like 600 - 700 km to a tank.

You really deserve more views and subs mate. Road tripping a UK car across the US & Canada is a dream of mine. Especially if it's a car the US didn't get.

I love car trip videos, it was awesome man! Please do upload your progress. Btw, why did you say in your previous video that this is going to be its last moments in Europe? Do you plan to sell the car after your trip? Maybe you can try to take it to Africa or something even crazier than that...There was a sick project done by German car club called "The Clutch Kick Kidz". Guys went in their E36 320i Touring, that was in a really poor shape, ALL the way from Germany to Japan. Yes, you read that right - to Japan. They travelled through the whole Russia, at one point the sat nav said: keep driving straight for ~~ 2,400 km. The car had some problems on the way too. They reached a bizarre place where 3 borders meet: Russian, Chinese and I believe Mongolian. Ultimately, the reached Vladivostok, it took roughly 11,000 km or even more than that. What's sad and funny is the car made it, but then the dude loading the car onto the ship - burned the clutch. Fortunately, their friend the UK has flown to Japan and brought them a new clutch set! They replaced it and went to meet with Japan drift community, drifted the car, then it has been sold and they flew back to Germany. The trip took in total way over 2 months. This was by far the most exciting thing I have ever read in my life, I was glued to my computer for 2 hours+ straight, until I finished reading all of their Facebook posts with pics from this absolutely epic trip.

Hi Mati. That sounds like a great trip! Unfortunately, it will come down to money and the car will most likely just be scrapped unless I can register it or sell it in Canada. I cannot sell it in the USA due to their 25 year import rule and unsure how to register in Canada as a non resident! It’s just not cost effective to ship what is basically a worthless car back to the UK. :(

You waste way more money on tires from wearing them out too fast running them overinflated then you save on gas from doing it, also the sacrifice to handling on wet/slippery conditions is downright dangerous sometimes.
