376 MPG in 1973!
Winner of a Shell sponsored contest and Guinness Book of World Records holder, this 1959 Opel got 376 MPG! At other contests sponsored by Shell, they achieved 49.73 MPG in 1939, 149.95 MPG in 1949 with a 1947 Studebaker, 244.35 MPG in 1968 with a 1959 Fiat 600, and 376.59 MPG in 1973 with this 1959 Opel.

They could get 376.59 MPG in 1973 with a 20 odd year old car and yet people still insist in getting 25 MPG from their god damned SUV’s and sports cars.
We truely are a world of tards. Dystopia come true.
That’s one amazing Opel. It would be interesting to know what the modifications were that allowed it to achieve such a high MPG. I can see the wheels are thinner than standard, and the back wheels cannot be seen (possibly just one wheel in the middle?).
if you’re stupid enough to believe this garbage..i have some land for sale, you can only view it at low tide
Screw all you breeders. I have no kids to leave this planet to so I’m burning as much gas as possible!!
2004 F150 w/ 5.4L V8 - 14 mpg
2008 350Z w/ 3.5L V5 - 18 mpg
2007 KTM 525 EXC - who knows…
2003 Yamaha grizzly quad - who cares…
Bad fuel economy = good fun!
why dont they sell cars like this today that will get so many mpg? or just make an suv that will do that? or any car? any car at all? oil companies would lose money, thats why. bitches.
thats ridiculous..we could be getting that kind of gas mileage out of all cars today, if the oil industry wasn’t such a huge monopoly
HOAX!!1 Can’t drive anywhere with a car that misses its rear left wheel (sorry, couldn’t resist).
@Ebony
You’re a tard. I am at least aware of the fact that the Oil companies do not want us driving cars that get over 100+ mpg because that would ruin sales for them.
You are right this world is full of retards and you’re one of them to be speaking
Hating on machines? Hating on the people who may have a legitimate need for a larger vehicle? Somebody has issues. Die, hippie scum. Die.
So how did they do it? Any information? I would have thought that was an impossible figure, so how did they do it?
