The "worlds most fuel efficient couple" have done it again. Smashing their previous record of 1,526.6 miles on a single tank of gas, John and Helen Taylor have again shown their fuel efficiency by reaching 1626 miles on a single tank of gas.
Traveling in their stock 2012 Volkswagen Passat powered by a 2.0-liter TDI Clean Diesel engine, the Taylor's set out on a three day ride departing from Houston Texas, traveling through 9 states before running dry in Sterling Virgina. In order to verify the authenticity of this achievement the Taylors had the car's odometer and speedometer checked out & calibrated by a certified testing station in Houston, and Police were also on hand to verify the mileage and were on site to verify the gas tank was sealed after filling up and confirmed the seal was in place when it ran dry.
All in all a very impressive feat and for those looking to get the most out of a tank of gas maybe it's time to consider a Volkswagen.
