Skoda Fabia achieves more than 2,000km on one tank

Austrian driver manages 2.2 l/100km from Fabia Greenline.

Austrian economy driving specialist Gerhard Plattner has achieved 2,006 km on a single 45 litre tank of fuel in a Škoda Fabia GreenLine.  Starting in Reutte, Austria, Plattner drove to Bov, Denmark and back to achieve this impressive feat. The result of his effort is a record-low consumption achieved by the Fabia GreenLine – 2.2 l/100km although the model's official consumption figure is 3.39 l/100km (combined). The Austria-based economy driving world champion used Germany's longest motorway, the A7, for his trip from Austria to Denmark and back.

The trip was supervised by the International Police Motor Corporation (IPMC) who also sealed the fuel tank before Plattner set out from Reutte.
