Episode Description

Jeremy, James and Richard compete in a fuel economy race from Basel, Switzerland to Blackpool UK to see who can get there on a single tank of fuel. James picks an efficient Subaru, Richard brings a Volkswagen and Jeremy, hoping to run out of fuel near his home, brings a big V6 Jaguar.

Episode Introduction

"Tonight, we have a race to Blackpool. The new Lamborghini comes to our studio. And at last, the Bugatti Veyron is on our track."

Stig Introduction

"Some say he has a stripy top just like mine. Oh, come on, James. You really didn't fool anybody with that. Not fooled anyone. No, this really is a big moment. A properly, properly big moment, because in a few moments we probably will have a new leader on our power lap board. The Bugatti Veyron. Let's find out."
