I thought the Craig Vetter contest was to find the best fuel economy vehicle, not the most efficient driver.

Short of having a robot drive each vehicle, there needs to be some uniform driving guidelines. Like the old non-sense MPG records in Guinness book of world records, where they get astronomical values, but never exceed 15 MPH.

Good to see the latest "Real World driving" record with a Jetta applies to the average driver VW Jetta TDI sets Guinness World Record of 58.82 mpg
