Buzzapp Master Four Mazda MX-5s, one from each generation, drove a 1,600km route from Land’s End to John O’Groats using 100% biofuel from Aspen Group’s Sustain Fuels. This marks the first time a car has completed this end-to-end drive across the UK using sustainable fuel.
Launched at the 1989 Chicago Motor Show, the Mazda MX-5 has produced more than 1.2-million units at Mazda’s Ujina plant in Hiroshima, with more than 135,000 sold in the UK. The four cars on the 1,600km drive were from the Mazda UK Heritage Fleet — a 1990 1.6l Mk1, a 10th anniversary Mk2, a 25th anniversary Mk3 and a 30th anniversary Mk4.
The cars used Sustain 100 RON E5, a second-generation biofuel from Coryton, which contains no fossil fuel and is made from agricultural waste and by-products. The fuel required no modifications to the cars and uses carbon already present in the atmosphere, recycling it instead of releasing additional CO2.
