John Taylor and wife Helen, both in their 50s, set a Guinness world record by driving 18,001 miles on only 344 gallons of gas in their unmodified VW Golf. That equates to 52.29mpg.
The
Taylors were on the road for 78 days, driving through
Europe,
Asia, and
North America. The trip started and ended in London.
The trip was a challenge from Shell after the
Taylors had shown the oil
company they made a 522-mile trip in a Subaru Impreza without refueling. Shell says the Taylors were chosen considering of their record-breaking experience. They share 34 driving records.
John said that journalists often pressed for details on their relationship during stops, and many “tried to get us divorced.”
