    The fuel prices might be out of date (this episode was first broadcast in 2009) but the Eco VS Fastest route is still worth considering with fuel prices higher than they ever have been.

    If you'd slow down a little bit, you know, stay behind the lorries, it will likely cost you less time and save more fuel than going through city traffic.

    Hmmm, not sure this works. Surely constant start stop traffic,. accelerating and stopping would use more fuel than those extra 7 miles doing a continuous steady speed. It's the harsh accelerating that hurts the mpg and (doing 70+ on the motorway than perhaps 62 because it's about 20% extra drag)

    depends on what car you drive a hybrid or electric is in its element on the eco route a normal petrol/diesel would fair better on the fastest route also stop/start is terrible on a normal petrol or diesel car not a issue on hybrid or electric
