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

@antirufus 23 күн бұрын

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?

@Mister-Brain-Wash 13 күн бұрын

Хехе, я одном баке могу проехать всего лишь 700 км, у меня Е34 М50, двигатель мощный, поэтому расход топлива такой.

@Therrannor 6 күн бұрын

I do around 500km with 60L of fuel with my BMW E46 330xi ; but it cost me less than 50€ with E85 fuel

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.

got to admit thats cool af, because those m47 engines are economical and can go so faar, just keep driving. I own e91 with same engine but its not that economical, maybe because mine has 163hp. I havent tried how many km I can do on highway with full tank cuz I live in eu and here the longest roads I take are 200km, but I can get around 1200km on full tank on highways, at least board computer showed that to me

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.

@OlliePenny 27 күн бұрын

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. :(

This was great 👍 I have a 46 330d touring 6 speed manual and the best economy I have ever got is 73 imp mpg That was over a 200 mile journey going 55mph with 55psi tyre pressure I keep a log of all my fuel economy on Fuelly app I would love to see you try this again on a more flat route with high tyre pressure Do you have egr & cat delete? Also use a fuel additive, I use Dipetane or Diesel Rhino and they seem to give around 10% economy improvement

@OlliePenny 23 күн бұрын

That’s very good! EGR is still connected although vacuum pipe is unplugged from it. I still have the cat. The tyres were actually under inflated! I forgot to check them before, after I checked and they were 30% under BMW recommendation lol. Fuel additive is a good idea. 👍

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.

@@nikolakarovic5964there is no dpf on the46. You can block off EGR. You can also delete the swirl flaps in the intake runners. Finally: clear out egr + intake plenum/runners + walnut blast the intake ports in the head. This will all improve airflow into the engine which makes the engine run more efficiënt.
