stick that in your SUV...
On this week's Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson drove the brand new Audi A8 from London to Edinburgh and back... on a single tank of fuel. Average consumption was somewhere just over 40MPG. The catch is that it's a diesel engine; however, being an Audi, it's a twin-turbo V8. So it'll go pretty quickly if you want to play boy racer instead of rainbow warrior.
(engine specifics open to correction by
eejital_muppet, since the Top Gear website has very little actual information on it)
Other fun features on the show: racing the Ford SportKa - which you'll have seen in that "We Didn't Do It!" viral marketing advert where the cat gets decaptiated by the sunroof - against racing pigeons, and losing; and playing "darts" with some old cars, a pneumatic ram, a quarry and, uh, a caravan. Jeremy says it's the 19th caravan they've destroyed on the show this season.
