Sunday Times journalist Gavin Conway has set a world record by driving a Volkswagen Passat 1,531 miles (2464 km) on a single tank of fuel.

The Passat was fitted with VW's most efficient diesel engine - the 1.6 liter TDI (105 PS /250 Nm) with BlueMotion technology that includes a stop/start system for improved fuel-economy. No modifications were made to the car. It was a standard production model.

Conway used exactly 77.25 liters of diesel fuel on the drive which meant a fuel-economy figure of exactly 90 miles per gallon (imperial) or 3.1 liter/100 km - way above the standard combined cycle rating of 64.2 mpg (4.4 liter/100 km).

The event was documented by representatives of the Guinness Book of World records who confirmed the record.

BlueMotion technology on the Passat includes a lower ride height, low roll-resistance tires, aerodynamic bodywork, a stop/start system and programmed battery charging. BlueMotion technology is also available on the Polo and Golf models.

Trist rau de tot. Iti dai seama cat de inuman a mers soferul?
Sunt sigur ca si cu masina mea se poate merge lejer 1000km cu un plin (52L), daca ai nervii tari si, bineinteles, drumuri...

de la 1000km la 2400km e drum luuuung

[bleunightdanger]

Mergi pe dracu 1000km. Maxim 850.
Si nu vezi ca asta a mers 2464 km?

[pejte]

Pot sa merg si 400 cu un plin, chiar si mai putin, nu asta e problema. Plus ca n-am zis ca eu pot, ci ca un nebun ca si Gavin Conway ar putea...
Doar ca nu prea vad un om de rand mergand 2000KM cu Passatul lui TeDeI. Astea sunt pe principiul hai sa punem o racheta pe o motocicleta, sau roti de 22 pe o Astra. N-au nici un rost, dar daca se poate, de ce sa nu o facem...

la 2000km deja o forjeaza un pic

[pejte]

Daca sunt si un pic rau, deja unele tedei-uri mai vechi in 2400km gripeaza motorul
