‘Fuel fugitives’ achieve 126mpg… in a Peugeot 308 HDi!
They were the mysterious couple causing consternation at fuel stations across the UK.
Staff were baffled at their behaviour – for a while they’d pull in to buy food and drinks, the duo rarely filled up their car.
And we can now reveal their identities – fuel efficiency Guinness World Record breakers John and Helen Taylor! The pair have just set an astonishing new record, achieving an average 126 miles per gallon… in a Peugeot 308 HDi 110.
Their record-breaking journey around the UK saw them:
Drive 3,700 miles
Spend £136 on diesel
Achieve 126 mpg
It is a staggering achievement – and once again proves the incredible fuel consumption of Peugeot’s 308 HDi. Powered by an innovative HDi diesel engine, the FAP particulate filter reduces CO2 emissions – but means no compromise on performance.
We’ve got all the details of the Taylor’s record-breaking journey, along with their top tips for fuel efficiency on the Fuel Fugitives website. So if you’re fed up of rising fuel costs and looking to improve your mpg, visit Arbury Peugeot today and find out more about the 308 HDi.
