Green Driving Test
BP has developed the UK’s first Green Driving Test and over the past twelve months a number of leading UK journalists have been set the challenge of driving as many miles as possible on exactly one litre of BP Ultimate Unleaded.
Each participant uses exactly the same car, a Ford S-Max, and they drive exactly the same route - a mixture of city, urban and motorway roads within the Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire, a leading car test facility.
Alongside each driver sits a technician from BP, operating a specially-made black box computer which, in combination with satellite tracking technology, can measure the exact distance travelled on just one litre of fuel.
Each driver is measured against the ‘perfect’ drive, a benchmark for the best possible results from one litre of fuel, to establish how much more CO2 they emit and also how much money they would be wasting each year on additional fuel.
In the video below you can see how Bedford Today journalist Alan Candy’s got on when he took his Green Driving Test.
