Got any advice for Honda...

...in their attempt to set the Guinness World Record's best fuel efficiency in a standard production vehicle in real-word driving conditions spanning the 24 contiguous European Union countries, covering 8,459 miles. On June 1, 2015, two members of Honda's European Research & Development team will navigate and drive a 1.6 L i-DTEC Honda Civic Tourer, extra-equipped only with tracking/telematic equipment. Their journey will start from Aalst, Belgium creeping along towards the Netherlands and Germany, their trip will see them navigate through the countries in a clockwise direction. Each driver will average 370 miles a day or 7.5 hours of drive/seat time. The navigation planning includes an online tracker site so you (Europeans or tourists) could watch or avoid their verrry slooow albeit legal speeds.

Bring lots of coffee. And chamberpots.

Can't see how they expect to even come close to the figures gotten by the Gen 1 Insight, a decade ago.

The official Guinness World Record title will be “Lowest Fuel Consumption—all 24 contiguous EU countries,” "The 24 countries ...... include Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden."
will hold the record for a while unless it is duplicated exactly.
" ...engine can “consistently out-perform” its fuel efficiency estimates in real-world driving"
thumbing their nose at the EU's Council of Environment Ministers.
"The whole thing is basically a promotional stunt...."
every time this gets mentioned will be free advertisement. even if it's beat by another company. spin doctors can manipulate statistics to read whatever is wanted.

A Honda Civic with the 1.6 i-DTEC can get very good economy in real life.

Not a tourer, just the hatch. Nonetheless, consumption like that makes me turn green with envy
