The attempt by a Honda Civic Tourer 1.6 i-DTEC to set a new Guinness World Record for the ‘Lowest Fuel Consumption – all 24 contiguous EU countries’ has been accomplished. Two members of Honda’s European Research and Development Team drove the car to a record average of 2.82 litres per 100 km (100.31 mpg) over 13,498 km in a 25-day drive across all 24 contiguous EU countries.
Fergal McGrath and Julian Warren, the two members of the R&D team, took on the challenge to showcase the real-world fuel economy of the Tourer. The distance travelled was akin to driving to Australia from their home in the UK, with nine refuelling stops in total. Achieving an incredible average 1,500 km on each tank of fuel, the total cost was just 645 Euros (RM2,716).
Setting off from Aalst in Belgium on June 1 and returning to their start point on June 25 after navigating the continent in a clockwise direction, they recorded fuel economy figures that exceeded the Tourer’s quoted efficiency of 3.8 litres per 100 km (74.3 mpg) by more than 25%.
The rules for setting the record stated that the same two drivers must be in the car for the whole journey and drive approximately 600 km each day each day, working out to around 7.5 hours of driving daily. The title attempt required cars to have a fuel/mileage logbook, GPS readings, video and photographs and independent witness signatures for proof.
The record-breaking car – a standard model, as stipulated by the rules – was fitted with a tracking device. Fuelling was carried out at regular filling stations, with the tank filled to the maximum at each stop to ensure no weight advantage.
Both team members were amateur drivers who adopted careful and sensible route planning, whilst anticipating road conditions ahead with smooth driving without harsh acceleration or braking.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
but tourer no RV
RM 2716 / 1500 km = RM 1.81 / km
:p
Is rm 2716/13498km=rm0.2/km
standard 1 math.
Only 16 ppl math pass.
:p
Math fails
bring to msia and compete with i40 tourer, also a best rival for the old caldina
In Malaysia Toyota already set the Guiness Book of Records as the No 1 Depreciation Non National Car.
2013 Toyota Altis 1.8 now selling RM65k whilst 2015 Altis selling for RM139k. In 2 years, lose 60% of its value.
stupid or just retarded?
altis 2013 is the previous version corolla with dual VVTI, coded E140 series while 2015 model is totally different model coded E170.
the pattern how it depreciated is
1. it is normal when a new model launched, the previous model will loses its value a little bit more.
2.the previous selling price for 1.8E was 110k. the 139k is price for 2.0V. how come you compare 2.0V high spec with 1.8E spec? that is just ridiculous.
3. fyi, any car selling more than 100k will lose a lot more of its value than cars below 100k. this is also normal.
all this makes me wonder… you just came back from school right? pls make sure homework is done ya.
Whateveeeeeeer
Point is, being Toyota alone not enough to guarantee RV.
Padan muka Toyota fagboys, buy Toyota expect to not depreciate. But a Toyota is still a car, a depreciating liability.
2013 Altis 1.8 (110k) Vs 2011 Civic FD 1.8 (115k)
2013 RM65k /// 2011 RM75-80k
The older Honda Civic FD has better RV,
main reason = safety , Civic FD got VSA(stability control)
This civic tourer should be made available here
Here Picanto manual RM55k also cannot sell, expect Honda to bring in manual, diesel wagon.
With this car, now really Same Lorrrr and Sam Loo (ori1) as well as losers like therealmaserati have to now sell bra and panties in Jusco
Actually Honda Civic Tourer is available in petrol variant with six-speed manual gearbox. I believe if they bring it here it can sell some units if the price is right. While Picanto is an A segment car suitable for driving in the cities (traffic jam!), probably why sales of manual Picanto are low.
UMW Malaysia also has set another Guiness record, the only RM150k car with no VSC in the world.
I was speaking to kzm today, he said this post is haram because it has the word Guinness in it. He said it is najis and kotor.
dont play with religion pls…
the only way it is possible to do so is:-
1. it is a diesel, turbocharged with max optimisation
2. with a 6 speed manual transmission
3. the car is as light as possible
4. with low rolling resistance tyres
5. no start stop driving like traffic jams.
because, take another Honda Civic… put in a 2.0 petrol engine and a 5 speed automatic gearbox… than fit 17 inch wheels. drive in KL during noon with aircond at full blast. naah, good bye fuel consumption whatsoever
CVT might be able to do the job too since it is long smooth run.
the tail light is so ‘beautiful’.
