Polish rally driver sets Guinness World Record: 2831 km on a single tank of fuel.

New world record in fuel economy

According to Korrespondent.net: Polish rally driver Miko Marczik, driving his own Škoda Superb with a diesel engine, has set a new world record by covering 2831 km on a single tank of fuel. This achievement has been officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records.

According to a press release from Škoda, the car underwent minimal modifications. It had a standard 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine with a power output of 148 hp, a 7-speed DSG transmission, and all-wheel drive. The only changes involved a suspension lowered by 15 mm from the Sportline version and low rolling resistance tires. The fuel tank had a capacity of 66 liters, and the average fuel consumption was only 4.2 l/100 km.

Route and conditions

The route passed through Poland, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and back to Germany. Weather conditions were challenging — at times, the temperature dropped to +1°C. The average speed during the entire journey was approximately 80 km/h.

Tips for economical driving

After setting the record, Marczik shared tips for saving fuel: maintain proper tire pressure, stay alert and well-rested behind the wheel, accelerate and brake smoothly, anticipate road situations, and take advantage of tailwinds.

The driver noted that in warmer conditions and with the use of premium fuel, he plans to exceed his own record by covering 3000 km without refueling.

It is worth mentioning that recently there has also been information about labels with fuel consumption data on new cars in Ukraine.
