I should imagine that the car would be largely un-modified as a marketing exercise, but who knows? I wish that there was some [read: any] detail on what driving techniques were used. I'm guessing that Austria to Denmark would be mostly be on continental motorways (autoroutes, autobahns, whatever) so speeds were probably kept around 90kph to get that sort of economy.

I know that WE know all about efficient driving techniques (DWL, EOC, CODFISH etc.) but a lot of others DON'T. This sort of exercise is just telling people that they need to buy a more efficient car, whereas what everybody needs to do is drive in a more efficient manner. This irks me.
