So you cerebrate your autos is reasonably economical because you once got 700kms out of a single storage tank, or pehaps 900kms if your were running on diesel. It's not time to be patting yourself on the back exactly still because a Volkswagen has exactly demolished the world record for distance covered on a undivided storage tank of diesel.
A squad from the United Kingdom's Sunday Times set off from Kent, England with a VW Passat BlueMotion and a full tank of diesel -- then drove to the south of France and back over again.
Averaging out around 73kph, the squad cared to travel a staggering 2,457 kilometres before it ran dry. The 1.6-litre TDI-equipped VW Passat BlueMotion applied was a all standard production theoretical account which features a lower ride elevation, Stop Start tech, longer pitching and low winding resistance tires. As two lookers drove behind them to verify the endeavour for the Guinness Book of World Records, the Passat accomplished around 2.61 l 100km economy -- a lot higher than the officially quoted 3.66 l 100km rating.
