We Tried DIY Fuel Saving Mods

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.

@shaft9000

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...
Yes, covering the air intake seems very smart. No reason a radiator might need fresh air to keep the engine cool or anything

Why is literally every top comment identical. Who upvotes this swill?
that tape was put on so roughly that there's no way it's smoother for the airflow lol. the tiny length of tape on the door shut line that callum is saving by being given birth to by his TT each time they need to get in or out is so tiny and so shoddily applied that you've got to wonder what they're trying to save :D
The TT reminds me of a golf 4 I had, the doorhandle didn't door...handle, so I had to get in from the passenger side or the window. Excellent!

Welcome to the UK
As you see in the comments, you guys are doing some really nice work... This channel is getting better and better (funny videos, where u can learn sth, serious videos, where u can learn sth, the challenge with the subie and the Lambo is pretty nice too, and every video is spiced up with some pretty funny jokes... Even those serious videos are really entertaining) ... And yeah, I even would say, you're better than Top Gear... Great job ✌️ Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Now remember, add race fuel to get better mpg 😂
Got to hand it to that jag. It did well to get 34mpg considering its a V8 luxury car with an auto gearbox and was unmodified. It proves that it Doesn't matter what car you have it's how you drive it.
This is the closest thing I've seen to Top Gear in a while. Great video
such a top gear challenge and I'm for it lol. love u guys and hope u can keep it going!
Really enjoyed this video! I’d not be surprised if the only thing improving your fuel mileage was actually how you were driving, though. 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 😒
I'm loving these Top Gear/Grand Tour videos. Keep em coming fellas
i _love_ these little challenges. not so much MPG, but all these _very familiar_ style of automobile challenge vids. 10/10, i always eagerly await new vids.
Very OG Top Gear vibes,genuinely something I hope you keep doing gents,cheers!
Great video... And finding a town called Bell-End.. brilliant!🤣🤣🤣
It's feels good, because it's honest. Honest friendship and reactions. Just 3 guys having fun
Callum clambering in and out of the TT had me in splits 😂😂
Best trio I've seen since Jezza, Hammond and May, hands down, good laugh, good content, great work lads, idk how you can make saving fuel funny but yous done it 😄
I was thinking 'how can that car cool itself' at 0:30 and was validated at 5:54, LOL
Great video! I'm glad the irony of driving to a place called bellend was not rubbed in too much. 🤣
I can’t wait to use Car Vertical to make sure my new car hasn’t had the key twisted to bits!

this episode reminds me of the American top gear with Tanner Foust Routledge Wood and Adam Ferrara, i love that top gear version
This is the top gear we needed Scott is like Jeremy Clarkson Will is like Richard Hammond Callum is like James May
The "longtail" on the SLK actually makes sense. The flat rear end is called a Kammback design and is used on various cars for fuel economy, the Prius being a prime example.
“A pub I have chosen in bell-end” Bravo. Bravo.
Haven’t watched to the end yet, but I’m expecting to see a very warm TT.
Still make a boring drive into a hilarious joy ride tho cracking vid guys
Love how Will is obsessed with his insurance companies 😂
Very good summary. I like it.
It’s the 3rd (or 4th) I’m watching this episode. It’s so so so good
You guys are awesome, best budget top gear out there
A great simulation of the "electric car experience". Hilarious! Great job, guys!
This feels more like the old topgear than the cartrek episodes. Well done!
I would love to see a follow up video where you drive cars who have been modified for fuel efficiency and test the owners claims.
this channel needs to be massively promoted
Insane how good this is for a channel of this size.
Ah, I love this crew!
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.
I love this channel, enough said.
The think flight video on aerodynamics to save fuel is much more interesting even if it is less funny.

The top gear spirit isn’t determined by a highly produced show about cars with 3 people attempting to make jokes. It’s essentially three mates who like cars and eachother, that’s what makes it funny and enjoyable. This is really good
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.

Getting a prius speedtail must be the answer to the gas crisis
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.
The vortex generators dont produce less drag but more. They are used on wings to create turbulent flow which resist flow separation more than laminar flow but they do cause more drag
subscribed keep it up lads
there's no way "bell-end" is an actual place in the UK... 15:28 love that early cellphone there. Beautiful.
12 gallon tank of cheap unleaded, with a cheap bottle fuel injection cleaner and a cheap bottle of octane booster (both under 1.50 each). without range displayed 330 miles (27.5 mpg), with 2 bottles of goop range shows 420 miles (35 mpg) driving light on the pedal. 90 extra miles for under 3 bucks works for me!
When I first saw the TT my first thought was...."this man just made a driving bomb"
You lads should be the top gear presenters. I'd actually watch it again
Try using 4 space saver wheels . Or you could just buy a 2004 Renault Laguna estate 1.9dci , that's does 70mpg at 80mph just by rotating the egr 180 degrees and re-inserting and leaving it connected it still does not work . One of the best MPG cars in history considering its a large family car .
