Honda have beaten a World record managing a head scratching average of just over 100 UK MPG over a staggering 8387 miles across Europe! Hondas research and development team achieved this impressive economy in a standard diesel production version of the popular Civic.
Of all the suspiciously high so called "record breaking" economy tests we hear about, this has to be the most comprehensive long term test ever recorded, they drove through an epic 24 countries all together! Personaly I take my hat off to them having the patients to travel such a vast distance using hypermiling techniques, very impressive!
