Congrats to Helen and John Taylor, who set a new World Record by driving their 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI around the United States (the lower 48) while achieving a record setting overall fuel mileage of 58.82 miles per US gallon. That is 70.64 miles per Imperial gallon, or 3.99L/100km.
The trip of over 9,400 miles used just 11 tanks of gas and cost them only US$653.06.
You can learn more about them and read a journal of their entire trip on their official website.
