Thank you, I came here to ask that. So many people don't realize the UK has a bigger gallon and think their cars are magic, because they get much better MPGs!
Tony getting down from the Litreboard before was just for extra character develepemnt. Making him run on kerosine and stuff was the equivalent of training montage.
Tony winning the highway measure while being flatout is hilarious because it's a technicality. If you're full throttle, Tony likely physically cannot get worse gas milage than what you recorded.
the funniest thing is that internal combustion engines are most efficient at high load and constant rpm (which is Tony going flat out down the highway)
Not wasting any power drawing air past the throttle if it's fully open the whole time, and it's the minimum amount of heat lost to the cylinder walls on each cycle.

The only difference between communist and capitalist manufacturing in that case would be that communist countries did this for expensive items like cars, TVs and housing.

I know it'd be a bs calculation but i think it'd be funny to do the nissan leaf and hook it to a little generator to charge it up to get its "fuel economy"
That would actually be a really interesting comparison to show EV economy versus ICE! Not entirely accurate since most EVs charge off the grid, whose electricity is generated (presumably) more efficiently in bulk than with a small gas generator, but it would still be really interesting.
Tony was listening to 'Eye of the Nugget' during his training. Tony survived nonstandard fuels. He survived alcohols. He survived zip ties and even endured shoe. Tony Kowalski was ready for the Litreboard.
I am super interested in the next free car video. We see the first test drive, and then the series ended suddenly. We only get little nuggets of info like seeing a glimpse of its interior pulled apart, and now this gas leak. I was pretty invested in the saga and am dying to know just how many new problems emerged, lol.
Wade, you might appreciate this. I just sold my Subaru WRX to become a nuggeteer and am so happy with my decision. I got sick of paying for premium gas and feeling like I was driving a car that could blow up at any second. I bought a Honda fit (jazz) for 1/3rd the price with lots of dents and dings and smells and nearly 200k miles, but I couldn't be happier. And the thing has been getting me over 40 mpg to boot! Cars are so much more fun when you don't really have to care about them. Thanks for inspiring me to daily a nugget instead of a sports car!
It’s so fun to hear 110 kph is fast to you guys. Here in Germany on the Autobahn you’re supposed to go at least 130 on the parts with no speed limit when possible. And every “normal“ road has a 100kph speed limit😂
We only have one place in Australia which is 130kph in the Northern Territory, that used to be unrestricted but it was reduced recently. I'd say normal highway speed in cities is 80-90kph and outside its 100-110kph. But that varies a lot, there's some motorways which can go as low as 70kph. And you really can't get away with speeding here, there's cameras everywhere (and in some states, you're not warned beforehand). For the first 4 years of driving in NSW, you're on learners/provisional licence, and in that time, if you get done speeding at all (even 10kph over) you will have your licence suspended 3-12 months, depending on severity.
@@ziggybadans I think those kinda speed limits make sense in areas with dense population, but your country is so huge! I imagine it must really suck driving for longer periods at such "slow" speeds
_"on the Autobahn you’re supposed to go at least 130 on the parts with no speed limit when possible"_ Isn't 130 the maximum recommended speed, and everything past 130 a "do at your own risk" speed? It's not "go at least 130", it's "you are allowed to go over 130, but it's not (officially) recommended". From Wikipedia: The advisory speed is not enforceable; however, being involved in an accident driving at higher speeds can lead to the driver being deemed at least partially responsible due to "increased operating danger".
@@VitoFurhonestly there is so many animals out in the country areas that if you go to fast you're likely to end up with a kangaroo or emu crashing through your windscreen and killing you, still the freeway speed could be increased to at least 130 without to much trouble I think
It's so funny that if you had a Tony that magically could never have any mechanical issues etc.. you'd be saving quite a bit in fuel even if driving it made you miserable.
Wade's challenge now is to deliberately look for an ICE vehicle to dethrone Tony. I notice there are no diesels on this list - do they just not work when they're driving upside down or something?
He mentioned a while ago people going for operating economy tend to go for LPG rather than diesel there. (Though I'd be surprised if diesel was completely nonexistent!)
Well. Jokes on me #1 - He just did a Diesel and it was literally the worst efficiency on the board, by a country mile. Although, I guess that's maybe more about it being a giant off-roader. Jokes on me #2 - He'd actually already tested a diesel: I'd forgotten about "Le Van". 🤦♂
Maybe keep the old one as a "Legacy" category or something, so we can see the difference between the old ones and the new and improved one (plus we could still see nuggets like the LeVan or the Turbo Charade)
just noticed that the literboard doesnt have any diesel powered vehicles. would love to see the comparison between your CLS and like a hilux or somthing. preferably the duel-cab as they would have a similar weight id say. otherwise, pin mums nug up against some diesel gti or something. surely thatd get the audience riled up! - luv ya work, keep it up!
Aside from being a magnificent piece of nugget science in and of itself, we may well have finally seen the event that will lead to The Car actually getting a proper tune up
ok so this is so funny since i'm daily driving a nugget that is almost 30 years old and guess what? it takes a little much of fuel (but prices are crazy now) and checking the oil it was still all there and it's not black as well! meanwhile a 18/16 years old car had the whole engine rebuild since it took way much water and the oil was, and still is, black. i love tony, he's such a nugget just like mine
@@tenhundredkills "MPG equivalent electrical consumption" is a real American standardised unit, but it's so funny for me to think of kWh as equivalent to X gallons
reworking how the litreboard works is genuinely a great idea, even if finding a car that will beat tony at speeds that low will probably take notable effort. can't wait to see more of it
I used to live in Regional SA and my 4.0L FG Falcon was absolutely incredible on those highways, just absolutely ate them up. But when I moved to Brisbane it was absolutely devastating on my wallet just on my commute to work, not even counting anything else I got up to! Much happier with my 2.0L Impreza for those start stop times in traffic
I love videos like this. Its fascinating to see the differences between cars with different shapes and drivetrains. I only have one registered car out of 4 lol, but the one usable test car is a 1996 VS Commodore Executive Wagon. Completely base model with no options. My average city milage is 13.4L per100km travelling from Seven Hills to North Parramatta for work. My best highway milage was 7.3L per100km travelling from Brisbane to sydney but the average milage on long trips is around 8.3L per100km. Combined was around 10L per100km travelling from Caboolture to Eagle farm for work. Granted this is data is split between 2 major cities but that milage is/was consistent and spanned months. Also driving on the M1 through the Kurangai Chase the tacho sits at around 1700rpm at 100kph in overdrive. Sometimes if you dont pay attention on the lead up the car will eventually drop back to third and sit at around 2900rpm but once you get back up to speed it will go back to 1700rpm and stay there. The Ecotec motors are a brilliant piece of engineering with heaps of torque for what they are. I always compare them to diesels because of how they run and where their torque band is. Love them
The MPG is in US Miles Per Gallon 👍
But I'm still really mad about todays outcome.
I'm sure the Leaf uses less fuel.

Tony winning the highway measure while being flatout is hilarious because it's a technicality. If you're full throttle, Tony likely physically cannot get worse gas milage than what you recorded.
You could go down a gear and run it wide open at a higher rpm.
the funniest thing is that internal combustion engines are most efficient at high load and constant rpm (which is Tony going flat out down the highway)
Not wasting any power drawing air past the throttle if it's fully open the whole time, and it's the minimum amount of heat lost to the cylinder walls on each cycle.
There's less pumping losses when the throttle's all the way open (you barely pull a vacuum) so it makes a decent bit of sense.
@@ionstorm66 that's now how that work lol. It's already at max rpm highest gear, shift down a gear and the engine will just explode

My European mind cannot comprehend how 110kph is brutal highway speed
My USA Mind cannot comprehend how 68mph is "brutal highway speed". 75mph is like the "high end" and people do 80mph and higher on those highways.

That would actually be a really interesting comparison to show EV economy versus ICE! Not entirely accurate since most EVs charge off the grid, whose electricity is generated (presumably) more efficiently in bulk than with a small gas generator, but it would still be really interesting.
@@cusemoneyman That is fully accurate though, no? As long as it's how people actually use their cars the running costs are comparable.
@@biscuit715 Most people don't charge their EV from a personal gas powered generator.
could also just calculate the stored energy in a liter of fuel and compare that to the used energy of the leaf. but thats not as fun, obviously.
