2006 km on a single tank: 106 MPG or 2.21 LHK

Just over 2,000 kilometers (1247 miles)on a single tank of fuel - that is the achievement of Austrian Gerhard Plattner and the Skoda Fabia GreenLine he drove to Denmark and back. As a result, the compact model achieved an impressive 2.21 litres/100 km (106.4 mpg US), although the model’s Europe-standardized consumption is 3.4 l/100 km (69.2 mpg US).
“The Skoda GreenLine models are a prime example for fuel-efficient driving. In light of the current fuel prices, not only is that important for one’s own wallet, but also for lowering environmental pollution. With a fuel consumption well below the specified norm, I want to show that besides the car manufacturers, every driver can contribute to further reduce this environmental pollution. It already starts with small details such as the proper tire pressure,” Gerhard Plattner commented on the successful record-breaking trip.
That's without any (visible) mods - though I'd be surprised if the tyres didn't get some extra air in them
