Life on sustainable fuel, £40k supercar support vehicles and the best used Alpinas

Sustainable fuel is back in the spotlight as Formula 1 prepares for a season running on 100 per cent sustainable fuel, while The Gassing Station co-host Sam Sheehan has filled his Mazda MX-5 with eco-friendly petrol from Coryton’s Sustain project, produced using agricultural and organic waste.

Attention also turns to BMW’s takeover of Alpina, including favourite pre-acquisition models like the Alpina V8 Roadster and rare Alpina B6 S 3.5.

A £40k rally support-car challenge follows, featuring an Aston Martin V8 Vantage and Subaru Impreza WRX STI S206, before a look at motorway fuel prices versus local forecourts.
