RED Driving Instructors take part in Esso MPG challenge

RED’s Driving Instructors were challenged by Esso UK to see who could achieve the lowest overall MPG using fuel-efficient driving techniques.

The car used for the challenge was a Vauxhall Motors Ltd Corsa Elite which has a 1.2 litre petrol engine and the set route encompassed urban, rural and high-speed roads.

Representing Esso, Guinness World Record holder Kevin Booker – one of the most successful hypermilers in the UK, alongside RED’s top trainer Iain West-Moore, shared tips that achieved an average of 19.3% higher yield than the MPG achieved by untrained drivers on the same route.

This equates to a fuel efficiency gain which could save thousands of pounds for businesses. We offer a range of fuel-saving courses for businesses, large or small. Find out more here
