The Peugeot 308 HDi 110bhp turbo diesel, has secured its place in the 2009 Guinness Book of Records. Husband and wife, John and Helen Taylor, set two new world records in their standard 308 hatchback on a 25-day, 14,580km journey around the coast of Australia. During the journey, they recorded an unprecedented 1,919km on just 60 litres of diesel fuel and an astounding average fuel consumption of 3.13 litres/100km.


The Peugeot 308 HDi 110 hatchback, equipped with its Michelin energy-saving tyres, now holds the world record for both the highest average fuel consumption on a journey and the record for the furthest distance travelled on a full tank of fuel.
