ECO WARRIORS: WINNERS AT THE 2016 MPG MARATHON

Honda came away with the most awards for one manufacturer at this years annual MPG marathon. Among the awards won were the ‘Most Efficient Family Car’ and ‘Four Wheel Drive’ titles ; first and second place in the ‘Load Lugging Economy Champion’ class; second and third place overall in ‘Best Percentage Improvement on MPG’, and third ‘Best Outright MPG’ among the pack of 22 competing vehicles.

The event is a two day long eco-driving challenge which tests the skill of the competing drivers and the real-world fuel economy of the participating vehicles.

Tasked with driving around 400 miles over the two day marathon, the teams aim to achieve both the highest MPG and the most significant percentage improvement over the manufacturers quoted MPG figure.

Now in its 16th year, the MPG Marathon

aims to highlight the benefits of fuel efficient, economical driving, while providing a shop window for some of the most innovative, eco-friendly and diverse vehicles on sale, and even some not yet on sale, in the UK. MOST FUEL-EFFICIENT FAMILY CAR (2016 winner: Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC) Open to cars over 4.4m in length, with CO2 emissions below 120g/km. The winner is the vehicle which records the highest MPG figure.
