Sept 7, 2010: 119.1 Miles Per Gallon.

Most of the records I see set, that claim a bazillion miles per gallon, are carefully controlled closed course attempts. Craig Henderson drove a car he designed 25 years ago, from Washington state 1,478 miles to the Mexican border... you know, real world.

Quote:
He burned 12.4 gallons for a record-breaking 119.1 mpg in a car he originally designed in 1984.


Of course he was driving from WA down to Mexico, he probably wouldn't do as well driving from Mexico up to WA.
