Car insurance for the Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion could be set to grow in popularity after it was revealed the vehicle has set a new Guinness World Record.
According to the motor manufacturer, the model travelled the longest distance - 1,526.63 miles - on a single tank of fuel ever recorded by a standard production passenger car, taking its driver from Kent to the south of France and back to Calais.
The attempt was carried out by a team from the Sunday Times, with the participants driving on French autoroutes and through towns. This left the average speed at just more than 45 mph during the whole trip.
Commenting on the milestone, driver Gavin Conway told the Daily Mirror: "It shows how good modern cars really are."
And the feat might be of interest to consumers who are thinking about purchasing a new eco-friendly vehicle and obtaining suitable car insurance in the process.
