Audi Endurance Drive
In partnership with Audi, Rentech is demonstrating that today's diesel technology has significant green advantages beyond the contributions it currently provides in the push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption to make America less reliant on imported oil.
In October 2010, two Audi A3 TDIs drove 1000 miles across California on 100% synthetic RenDiesel. The results of the drive were impressive. The two Audi A3 TDIs averaged 40 and 43 mpg, which is in line with its average highway fuel economy of 42mpg. The results demonstrated that RenDiesel® can perform on par with traditional diesel, for a substantial period of time but with significantly less pollutants.
