"LONDON -- Honda has earned a new Guinness World Record for fuel efficiency. In a 25 day drive across all of the European Union’s contiguous countries, a Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC diesel averaged 2.82 liters per 100km (100.31 miles per gallon).
The 13,498 kilometer (8,387 mile) drive took the test car across 24 EU countries. The car can travel only by road, so the route did not extend to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta.
Behind the wheel were two members of Honda’s European Research & Development team, Fergal McGrath and Julian Warren, who have worked together at Honda for the past 18 years."
