Picture this: a Skoda Superb Diesel sedan cruising an insane 2,831 kilometers (1,761 miles) across Europe on just one 66-liter tank of fuel! Driven by Polish rally champion Miko Marczyk, this fourth-gen beast smashed the Guinness World Record for the greatest distance on a single tank, averaging a jaw-dropping 38 kmpl (90 mpg)—way beyond its official 20 kmpl rating.
From March 5 to 7, 2025, Marczyk journeyed through Poland, Germany, France, Netherlands, and Belgium, maintaining an 80 kmph average in freezing 1°C temps.
“This record shows what’s possible with focus and efficiency. I’m already planning to hit 3,000km next!” said Miko Marczyk.
Fans and car enthusiasts are losing it online, with one expert calling it “a game-changer for diesel tech” on social media, stunned by how minor tweaks like low rolling-resistance tires and lowered suspension made such a difference.
Could this redefine road trips or even challenge electric vehicle range records? Imagine the savings and freedom of driving cross-country without refueling. Skoda’s feat might just spark a new era of hyper-efficient cars—what’s the longest drive you’d attempt?
