From Canada To Mexico On One Tank of Diesel

A prototype car built by Craig Henderson in 1984 just broke its own Guinness World Record driving 1,478 miles using 12.4 gallons of diesel at 119.1 mpg. My weed eater burns more fuel big grin

The Avion is a car Craig Henderson originally built with partner Bill Green way back in 1984 as a prototype for a high-mileage vehicle he hoped to sell. Commercial plans never came to fruition, but Henderson never abandoned the Avion. Over the years he's kept tinkering with it, improving its powertrain and aerodynamics along the way.
