AA ENERGYWISE™ Rally
The AA ENERGYWISE™ Rally is a four-day car rally that is held every second year, demonstrating how people can save hundreds of dollars a year in fuel costs by considering a fuel-efficient car and good driving technique.
The winner is not the first over the line - it's the car that completes the course using the least amount of fuel. And you'll be amazed at what these guys can do!
Vehicles are entered into the rally by New Zealand vehicle manufacturers. The Rally in 2010 will run from October 11-14 over 1780km of typical New Zealand driving conditions - motorways, unsealed roads, rural state highways and in peak hour city congestion - for the title of New Zealand's most fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly car. For more information about the 2010 AA ENERGYWISE™ Rally visit the Rally website.
The Supreme Winner of the AA ENERGYWISE™ Rally in 2008 - costing the least to run over the whole rally, including fuel and road user charges - was the Honda Civic Hybrid. The Hybrid covered the 1641km route for a total cost of $111.72.
The Rally is organised by the Automobile Association (AA) and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA). Gull New Zealand Ltd is the major sponsor and provides all fuel for the event, including sustainable biofuels.
