Goodyear has announced that it managed to drive for 1,400 miles on just 1 tank of gas. The journey started from Canada and went south all the way to Mexico. The one tank of gas journey from Canada to Mexico was done by Craig Henderson and his custom-built car, the Avion, which of course, is equipped with Goodyear tires with Fuel Max Technology. The documented mpg figure of the Avion was 119.1 miles per gallon, which means the 1,400 mile journey was done with just 12.4 gallons of fuel!
The part the Goodyear tires played in all this is that they help reduce the energy loss as the tires roll through a Fuel-Saving Tread Compound. Goodyear says their new tires can save average motorists 2,600 miles worth of gas over the life of a set of tires.
The car that went from Canada to Mexico on one tank of gas is lightweight and aerodynamic and was first developed by Henderson and co-designer Bill Green in 1984.
