Volkswagen Sets Driving Record Yet Again

Jul 17, 2015

Yet again, Volkswagen of America is proud to announce that they’ve set another astounding record. What makes it even more impressive is that the record wasn’t only an achievement for just Volkswagen, but it was also a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® accomplishment. The 2015 Golf TDI® Clean Diesel now holds the world record for “lowest fuel consumption-48 U.S. contiguous States for a non-hybrid car”. With an average of an amazing 81.17 miles per gallon, over the course of 8,233.5 miles through 16 days, the 2015 Golf TDI® Clean Diesel consumed only $294.98 of diesel fuel.

“Covering 8,233.5 miles on just 101.43 gallons of Clean Diesel fuel is a remarkable accomplishment, and solid proof of the efficiency and fuel economy of Volkswagen’s TDI® Clean Diesel vehicles,” said Michael Horn, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. “Whether on a long road trip or even in daily commuting, the great mileage and long range of our TDI models is a pure convenience factor that few other vehicles on sale can match. It’s a simple formula: Less Stop, More Go!”

What makes it even more interesting is that the record that Volkswagen topped was its own record. Prior to the latest record being set, the 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI held the record at an incredible 77.99 mpg.
