The People's Eco-Rally 2008

At the height of the fuel protests and the heated debate about food vs fuel, Revolve set British motorists a challenge: Drive from Brighton to London in the greenest way you can. The destination was a music festival on Clapham Common, where the drivers were tested for eco-driving skills whilst their cars were tested for emissions. The winners each received a Navman Satnav and shared their green-driving knowledge with the assembled crowd. | More videos
