    To me the brake and accelerate technique would seem most effective. Just because by braking you evaporate all of your kinetic energy into thin air (well heat technically) and you get to lose a lot of fuel every time you accelerate again

      ​@JETZcorp hold the accelerator and brake together and let it rev to 6000 or whatever it goes in first gear. The engine and brake pads won't thank you but it will use the most fuel. Even in an economy car it will get like 5mpg!

      If anything, Hammond was making it harder for himself, because not only was the car more aerodynamic, if any radioactive dust got in, it would've been trapped because he sealed off some possible escape routes for the air, but still, he made it work.

      When I was a kid I saw some cartoons and very vintage inspired adventure books from no later than the 1930s and before that and they took place in areas like Russia Britain, Germany, China Africa, and so on. Knowing what would happen with the world wars it kind of made me think “ realistically, what would happen to some of those people just a few decades later or even less”? Some of these Top Gear episodes are kind of similar to that.

    Dacia Sandero- economical whether you need it or not,
