Peugeot 308 HDi Drives Coast 2 Coast on One Tank of Fuel

A Peugeot 308 HDi has driven exactly 1689.7 km across South Africa on a single tank of diesel, meaning the 1.6 litre car achieved a fuel efficiency of 3.4 litres /100 km.

The car completed its Coast2Coast challenge by arriving at the Northbound TOTAL Petroport N2 Riverhorse Valley in Umhlanga, on Wednesday, October 15th after its epic journey from the small town of Kleinzee on the Northern Cape coast, which it began on Monday, October 13th.

Peugeot devised the Coast2Coast Challenge to showcase the ultra-efficiency of the medium size hatchback, and highlight the need for motorists to drive fuel-efficiently in order to reduce their impact on the environment. Scientists believe the greenhouse gases in car exhaust fumes are one of the major contributors to global warming and climate change.

The Coast2Coast 308 – will now be displayed at the Peugeot stand at the Johannesburg International Motor Show between 30 October and 9 November 2008.

I'm sure with KERS they would have done even better...or so Max might think.  That is something like 10 race distances on one tank of fuel.
