One of the reasons Tony uses comparatively lots of fuel is that it has a carburettor instead of a proper fuel injection. A friend of mine back in high school modified his Fiat 126p(FSM Nikki) to use a fuel injection and it cut down the litres/km drastically. Maybe that could be a future project?

[@ElNeroDiablo]

My inherited 2.4L i4 Nissan X-Trail from 2003 gets about 500km of travel on about 50L of 91 RON, mix of city driving around Wagga/Albury, and rural highway driving to get to the city (110km drive each way from home to Wagga, 130km drive each way from home to Albury). Optimum fuel econo is around the 3,000 RPM mark, which funny enough also has perfect speeds in each gear (20kph in 1st, 40 in 2nd, 60 in 3rd, 80 in 4th, 105 in 5th). Riding shotgun, I can basically fall asleep listening to the purr of that i4 at 3,000 RPM, only waking up when she's forced to under-rev/over-rev to travel through a 50kph zone (2,500 RPM in 3rd, 3,500 RPM in 2nd. bloody annoying). The few times my uncle drove it as we dealt with stuff after my dad's passing, he was treating it like a diesel engine and keeping it at 2,000 RPM (80kph in 5th), and it did NOT like being treated like that.

It also probably had made people interested to stick around and watch older videos of his. Now multiple channels needs uploads just to please some stinking algorithm. >:c Dankpods has nothing over Garbage Time. I love Garbage Time since it describes exactly the kind of content and I'm sure we all love this stinking garbage! Multi channel stuff is stupid and wrong.

[@nullcircuit]

One thing I've learned about fuel economy is that you're a lot better off basically flooring it to your target speed and letting it get in top gear quickly. The quicker you can get to top gear and rest the longer you're on the economy curve.

[@TheDiner50]

Taught in EU heavy lorry school too. (Scandinavia) Find the max torque @ RPM for the engine and shift after reaching it. Get to cruising speed and keep as low RPM as possible unless the onboard computer tell you to shift down. Really the hole machine is designed nowadays to be as efficient as possible and tell the driver what to do or dose it automatically (if it is a automatic) But NO do not take a commercial vehicle designed to have a low run cost as being the truth for everyday vehicles. Find your engines max torque @ RPM. That is literately the sweet spot for efficiency under heavy load. Diesel cars around 2000rpm. And petrol around 2400rpm if talking about small turbo charged cars. But it can vary allot and have a really tight range or very broad band of high torque goodness. Modern cars learn and adapt to the driver. Meaning that running flat out can tune the car to be really uneconomically but very fast and whatever. It is far more valuable to yes try and reach desired speed fast but without overdoing the gas. Early shifts likely is going to lose you economy since you spend less time at cruse speed. Same deal with going up a hill at a low RPM. Getting to the max torque or close to it increases the engine efficiency UNDER LOAD. Low RPM at low load makes total sense that it saves fuel. But under load if the engine struggles it has to compensate with adding more fuel! And you do not even have to notice it struggling since agen it is compensating to AVOID struggling. Same thing going down hill. if you need to brake yea engine brake. But a engine doing nothing is a dead weight. On modern lorries and cars for that matter the computer calculates if staying in gear or going to neutral idle fuel usage is worth the saving of not being slowed down by engine braking! Like using fuel to save fuel? Yes. Turning the engine over at road speed might be wasting more energy then the fuel efficient engine do at idle burning fuel. That and a bigger engine having more moving parts is the reason a big engine can hurt fuel economy. And why a bigger engine driven a bit harder can save fuel compared to a small engine having to go FLAT out. Since even now it is driven hard it hits a good efficiency without having to strain itself doing it to the point of just blowing any efficiency gained from a smaller engine. But the moment you refuse going over 2000rpm with it when it really wants 2400rpm. Your better off with a smaller engine driven at about the same speed but in the right rev range. Since then the smaller engine has to work harder hitting a higher efficiency in the process. But that is just talking about fuel efficiency. Rather waste a little bit of fuel and baby the drive train. It hurt mentally going flat out fully loaded with a old lorry I drove. Like it screamed in pain as it literately power shifted pulling fully loaded :C Just 5-10% holding back before it shifted and the auto gearbox and the hole drive train for that matter was so much happier! It did not sound like you kicked a puppy every gearshift! Poor worn thing :c That was a long message about CARE ABOUT HOW YOU DRIVE! ;) But do it right!

[@AgneDei]

Depends on the car, specifically on the ECU map, and whether it has a narrow or a wideband lambda sensor. Wideband with eco map may be able to optimal fuel economy with full throttle, but usually with full throttle engines run a bit rich (meaning they waste quite a bit of fuel to ensure engine reliability). If the car only has a narrow-band lambda sensor, then it always runs very rich with full throttle, as it has no way of precisely correcting AFR, so it uses a static fuel add offset programmed in factory. So unless you have a custom map in your ECU, in normal cars the optimal way to accelerate is around 75-85% throttle (this should usually result in around 14.7 AFR - so the most optimal for economy that you can get on stock ECU software - at least on gasoline engines) all the way to your desired speed, not going over 3-4k rpm (depending on engine type), and then ,exactly as u mentioned, maintaining constant cruise speed in top gear.

[@nizzan91]

Keep in mind that Niki was originally designed to run on like 76 octane fuel, so some of the inefficiency probably comes from that.

[@AgneDei]

Likely depends on the model year of it. If it was manufactured after 1986 or then it must've been factory adapted to run on at least 86 octane gas (as this was the minimal octane fuel in Poland at that time, and I'm guessing Tony wasn't a specialized export model). If it was made after 1994 then it must be factory adapted to at least 94 octane gas. If it was made after 1999, then it must be factory adapted to unleaded 95 octane gas.

I just realized even a flat rolling potato on the highway would sound like a heavenly Nürburgring lap test when pushed right.

[@kay1761]

Hilarious living in S.A and seeing and recognising where you are. This cracked my ass up. Having bacon sammich for dinner watching you ham sandwich poor ol’ tony lol.

[@thahbx]

Haven't watched yet to the end but this is absolutely best comparison test I've been from last two decades. Greetings from Old Stinky London

[@LenKusov]

I think they're both land boats, it's just that Tony is an aluminum skiff with a 10hp outboard while Jeff's a sterndrive runabout.

[@_MrMango_]

for Americans, Tony averaged 42MPG while jeff averaged 21.8MPG during the test but in normal use was equivalent to 15MPG

[@WhyDoIBeHere]

Nothing better than an Aussie shouting at cars to brighten your day

[@Fl1pdOver]

Much appreciated! We know you had a rough week but you still came through! If you need a week off, though, just tell us.

[@42neddy]

me thinking "damn 15L/100km for a 5L 8V city driving? not bad"

[@KELVIN4TOR]

ikr my 4.0 v6 is sitting around 18l/100km in town

[@nightisright1873]

Thank you so much for producing amazing funny as hell content man! When you upload a video it makes my day!

[@cardboardturtle5470]

hearing you drive tony you sound like a drunk insane pirate captain engaging in battle with seven other ships i love it

[@GPaul2222]

Anchors aweigh playing while Jeff cruises up the hill is perfect

[@DaMDawg55]

Thanks for labeling the car views, would've never been able to tell which one was Tony

[@jugggla]

i daily drove a 1986 austin mini 998cc for the first few years after i passed my driving test. people never understood why i enjoyed it so much but this video sums it up to a tee! :DD

[@panqueque445]

Tony is not falling apart while parked. That's quite an achievement for him.

[@yoamen9205]

i gotta love how you are taking my time while watching your video and now this is your time and i can't have it back because it is gone cheers m8

[@panickedshears]

I love the MPH conversions so that I have an understanding of how it would feel to drive Tony on my route home from work. The main backroads are 45-55mph, and the interstate is 70mph (most people go 80mph, so keeping up with traffic would be going about 75-80mph). The fact that Tony can barely handle 50 is laughably bad, I love it.

[@KillerCaitie]

Good job, Tony! Also it's always delightful to see palm trees! We don't have them here, so seeing them is cool! :D

[@SAMPLETEXT285]

Its just calm vs chaos and the jump cuts between the two are just perfect

[@holo673]

it's so strange watching a car video and actually seeing roads i've gone on before

[@golfguy25]

The crazy thing is, these cars were only built 5 years apart. Its like comparing a 2018 car to a 2023 car.

[@j.curtisproductions1106]

I reckon driving subscribers cars might be a cool route for this channel. No serious reviews, just driving some bangin cars with ur epic commentary

[@myhandleiswhat]

Watching this back... If 100 Km/h is highway speed, they increased the speeds on a lot of local highways near me. One of them used to be 65 mph (104), now it's 75 (120 kph). People regularly do 140-160 kph or more. Fastest I have ever driven is like 140 and I only did it briefly to see if I could keep up with the other cars around me. Spoiler: I was still being passed. Dunno if Aussie drivers do that much over the speed limit or not. I always love the anecdote you have in the states of "The posted speed limit may not be the safest speed to go" which is meant to be like "if there's a lot of water/snow on the road, slow down" but it actually translates to people going as fast as they want, but, if I were to regularly speed to that extent I'd have a million speeding tickets.

[@drmariomariomd6733]

I had a dream about this freeway and seeing Tony for like 2 seconds as I drove by. It's like the Little Engine that Could, except not really at all.

[@joshatkinson1198]

The fact I know the exact Mobil servo, the beach and that roundabout is fucking wild to me and I'm all for it

[@crittermoded]

this is like if a top gear episode was just one guy

[@The-Night-Wolf]

There is something to love about a buzzy little tin box struggling to do speed limits. I miss having that. Might have to try and pick up an old corolla or something myself tbh.

[@SassySwampert]

seeing you throw the sandals - 'you ever see a guy say goodbye to a shoe?' 😂

[@Phoenix-ye6em]

Damn, this takes me back to the good old Top Gear days. I Want More Of This!

[@fiddlestyxVR]

I love how Tony brings out the crazy Aussie, while Jeff is just a casual Aussie drive.

[@nicksapgames4805]

Love that these cars were separated by 5 whole years of development really shows

[@RayLovesCars]

Holy stinkers, my 5000 pound fleet spec Crown Victoria police interceptor, which I have tuned for more power and done bolt ons to, along with me driving the absolute piss out of in in Canada’s crazy climate, averages 12.1L/100kms. Jeff you’re a monster! It I drive super efficiently with the crown vic it gets 9.4L/100km on the highway

[@Redjfish]

Tony isn’t just a car he’s an experience.

[@asdsdjfasdjxajiosdqw8791]

I once had all the time in the world to drive back home in Europe on all motorways and decided to drive as economically as possible in a Toyota Avensis Diesel from the early 2000s (this was last year). There was no one on the road and I just sat feathering the gas at 90kph the whole way. I averaged 2.9l/100km.

[@BlarghDragon]

I love the two sides. One where it's all clam and peaceful, just cruising along. The other is just concern and panic if it will make it up the hill.

[@mcscrillla683]

This is the best KZbin channel I have ever witnessed

[@blackidna]

There was a time when, in Italy, to say a person is so short, it "wouldn't even reach the pedals of a 126 with its feet" or that it can "stand in a 126".

[@andrewl9472]

Fun perspective: my car has effectively half the engine that Jeff does, but only 10% less power. It’s slightly heavier as well, but on a similar drive would do 6.7ish L/100km, and can get down to 5.9 or so cruising between 100-120km/h

[@exxs96]

Now you could drive VW Lupo 3l instead of FSM 126p, that would be awesome comparison. Greetings from Poland, this is the funniest comparison I watched today.

[@StraightestDakregor]

Tony sounds like he's constantly fighting for his life

[@Mel0nMel]

Ok I'll say it. This is my favourite youtube channel

[@Ironman1o1]

Its so weird to hear a car totally Red-lining, while other cars very casualy accelerate away
