Thanks for the link Joe (RabbitGTDGuy)
Not sure if you kids had seen this, while it is a bit dated (2002) this car was getting 282mpg!

It is Diesel :icon_happy:
"The one-cylinder SDI engine in the 1-litre car is not a derivative of an existing engines, but a completely new, technically sophisticated powerplant. The naturally aspirated, direct-injection diesel engine employs high-pressure unit injection technology to generate 8.5 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and maximum torque of 18.4 Newton metres at 2,000 rpm. The crankcase and cylinder head of the 0.3-litre engine are of an aluminium monobloc construction. Two overhead camshafts actuate roller rocker fingers which in turn actuate three valves, two inlet valves and one exhaust outlet valve. These are then fed from the engine through a titanium exhaust system with reduced backpressure."
