The mileage that that Laura got is indeed awesome! This type of driving in which one tries to maximize efficiency is known as Hypermiling. While this kind of driving indeed is rewarding in terms of FE, it is very hard to adapt on a daily basis.
What initially comes to mind about this Laura is:
- Diesel Engine
- VERY highly inflated tires
- Only highway driving (read: speeds of about 80/90 Km/h on 6th gear with minimal/no stops)
- Only one person on board and no excess weight.
Perhaps they even gutted the car of the rear seat and removed some equipment, spare tire etc to shed weight! Add to that low resistance tires and maybe they lowered the car a bit!
