25 year old Audi that got 100 mpg U.K.

Saw this video this morning. A European Audi A2 with an 1.2 Liter 3 cylinder TDi Diesel. Might give you some ideas on building a Max Mileage vehicle.

Steering wheel on the [wrong/right] side? It has an interesting maintenance hatch.

And the contrast with the Nissan Juke?

Nowadays some bureaucrat would label it as "dirty" for having a Diesel engine without DPF and SCR, even if it could be easier to adapt to run on a much more sustainable fuel which could be produced regionally (vegetable oils, eventually having the feedstock grown in brownfields as part of some bioremediation process).

Crash safety requirements would also render it roughly impossible to get something like this road-legal nowadays, even though people are still allowed to kill themselves on a motorcycle...
