A year ago our man Matt Prior bought an Audi A2 that had no MOT for £500.
After getting it back on the road he found this 75bhp 1.4 TDI marvel was averaging well into the mid-70s mpg. He even squeezed 90mpg out of it without trying too hard.
Which made him wonder: just how efficient could this A2 be? Could it return the magical 100 miles to the gallon?
Join Prior on a road trip as he tries to squeeze every last drop of diesel from this little hatchback.
