Welcome to WWW.150MPG.CO.UK & WWW.SOLARVAN.CO.UK

My current 100mpg Honda Insight.

Shortly to be fitted with Li-Fepo4 Batteries with extended fuel efficiency of up to 150mpg!

             Me and my old Solarvan.

My van has been sold to a man from London, you should see it buzzing around the capital soon!

I will keep the Solarvan information on this site live for the foreseeable future, although it won't contain any new updates relating to the Solarvan as it has been sold to a nice man from London.

Note the pages contain many large photos, which may take some time to download on a slow connection.
