Notes: Purchased in Los Angeles. During the episode, Mike learned the basics of hypermiling in a 2016 Honda Civic saloon. Restored car taken to a 90-mile hypermiling drive with only two gallons of petrol; the test fell short of one mile due to Mike not factoring his and Edd’s combined weight on his calculations. Sold to Honda Motors USA’s automotive museum to be used as a museum display.
