Honda Announces Mileage Marathon Winner

Honda recently threw down the gauntlet and challenged fleet drivers to demonstrate how driving a Honda Insight could reduce a company's fuel consumption and costs.

“Fuel prices are likely to rise again due to the weaker pound, and with the recent increase in duty, fleets will be looking at how they can reduce their fuel costs,” says Graham Avent, Manager – Corporate Sales at Honda (UK). “The results of this challenge show how switching the average company car driver into a Honda hybrid could save around £600 in fuel annually, or £1,800 over a 3-year contract.”

Obviously these are UK savings/costs, but it does illuminate how switching entire fleets of company cars to hybrid can really make a meaningful difference.

It should also be noted that the winner of this challenge actually managed to exceed the official Honda economy figure of 61.4 mpg for the Honda Insight, by squeezing a whopping 63.6 mpg out of the Insight. That's impressive.
