James Bond, Eco-Warrior Posted today at 6:00 pm by Brian Miller Yes, the generally poorly reviewed new 007 movie opens with a car chase, with Daniel Craig at the wheel of a gas-guzzling Aston Martin DBS. (That's a V12 supercar rated by the EPA at 12 mpg city, and 18 on the highway.) But that's not all he drives. As a passenger of love interest Olga Kurylenko, he rides in the Ford Ka pictured above.
