Episode 4 of this season of Top Gear...They do a mileage race where they have to drive 750+miles on one tank of gas...Clarkson chooses a Jaguar XJ6-TDVI. It supposed to get 35 mpg but he manages to get 53 mpg and he didn't really drive to hypermile it.
May gets 63 mpg out of his subaru forester and hammond gets 80mpg in his Volkswagen polo.
