Hello Folks, Just came across the below news of World record run by Honda Civic.

On an epic road trip across the EU, a Honda Civic Tourer breaks the Guinness World Record for fuel economy

With an official consumption figure of 74.3mpg, Honda's Civic Tourer with the 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel engine isn't exactly thirsty. But on a huge journey of 8,387 miles across the EU, the Civic Tourer achieved a return of 100.31 miles per gallon. That's a figure more than 25% over the official consumption figure, and it now holds the Guinness World Record for lowest fuel consumption on a trip visiting all 24 continuous EU countries.

Rules stated that the experiment car was an unmodified, road-going model, using regular fuel and brimming the tank at each fill-up ensuring no weight advantage. The car was driven by the same two colleagues from Honda's R&D department and between them they drove an average of 7.5 hours a day. They began in Aalst, Belgium, and after visiting all 24 EU countries returned to their start point.
