I get infinity mpg by just pushing the car.

My car is getting 2 weeks to the gallon whilst in lockdown 😉

Your videos are really great dude! keep up the great work! got my license last year and still watching lots of videos to learn more and more! :D it's driving me insane (no pun intended) to not be able to ride in my car these quarantine days!


Hope all this huge problem goes away sooner than later so we can all get to the road back again!

So me literally putting the pedal too the floor everywhere explains why my fuel light is constantly on 😂

I find it hard to drive "slowly" because of the peasents behind, I feel like they are always close to the back of my car

Thanks for continuing to pump out these videos during these times

[grethen]

Loved that you managed to make an actual driving video despite the lockdown

Just started watching this channel…love the content and the cherry on top is the regional and language differences; says me from the USA.

Loved the 'nailed it' confident smile when u realised ud done it! (and the pigeons say thank you :) )

Just bought this exact spec Leon yesterday, watching your videos to understand more about the car, been focusing on the video about smooth gear changes as I need to sharpen up to be honest. Thanks for your informative videos.

Useful info thank you. I'm a delivery driver so keeping fuel cost down is really hard with all the stopping and starting, my van being very heavy with parcels and the distance I have to travel. I'm spending almost £200 a week on diesel at the moment so anything I can do to help keep cost down really helps. I'll give these techniques a go.

Wonderful video mate ! Just an absolute shame it has so few views... Thx for the valuable info as well as the little "analysis" at the end found it very interesting (though i dont drive :/ )

The problem is, putting load on low engine rpm all the time will cause the intake manifold and its components to clog up after a certain time. Some cars need for example a certain amount of higher revs because of the valvetrain. Mercedes for example, on its older 1.6 liter supercharger in the W204, has the valves turned in its seat due to resonance at 4, 000 rpm. Which is why it is not always recommended to go at low revs like that. You will end up with maintenance costs for measures that try to save money by saving fuel at any price.
However, this video is helpful and let my comment be understood as further input to the discussion.
And of course, there is nothing wrong with low engine speed. Just don't do it all the time.

I learnt (and passed) in a Vauxhall Corsa in December, and I've been driving a Seat Leon (FR Black) since late January. The Leon is great - absolutely love it for a "first car". It can be quite an economic car to drive if you're a smooth driver.

This is awesome, I’ve been debating getting a manual or not for my first car, and I think this finally sold me on it haha. Fuel is getting rather expensive and having control over the where the rpm’s are sitting might be important for my pocketbook going forward…

[daniellee]

Didn't know about these tips. Thank you

[shadowwsk]

Drive at a lower speed is also very important. Remember, drag increases to the square of velocity,
