    Hope you enjoyed this one guys! Question is.... What next? 🫣
  • @BecomingPatrick
    Still can’t believe we even attempted this, one of the best automotive experience of my life and we spent most of the time at 55mph 😅
  • @user-hl6th7ev9w
    Another testament to these cars is the fact that the guys who set the world record done it in a new car and to be only 100 miles short of that record in a 13yr old car with 100k miles is truly remarkable. Outstanding video guys.👋👋👋👋
  • @jack_da_niels
    Not to forget this was not some marketing, manufacturer measuring, this was with traffic jams, heat, rain, starting and stopping the car etc. Well done!
  • Thank you guys, showing what has been available to us for the past 15 years or more. Less than 3L per 100km in a very good comfort, the Passat is by all means big enough, comfortable enough etc. And the engine is at 97,000 miles
  • I love that era of vw because your first 100 miles the fuel gauge doest move from full. Very satisfying 😂
  • @alancobbin
    2 years on from the 730d challenge,I’m so ready for this 👍💪😉
  • @stagehits
    I have a 2.0 Superb, and you really can feel how it's designed to be a long distance cruiser. One of the best cars I've ever driven.
  • @steveep1983
    Passat values have just gone up no end 😂 Amazing video
  • For some reason your 730d challenge came up for me about 3 hours ago… and now there’s another one😂
  • @Ambienfinity
    Stupendous achievement. That Passat is a real star.
  • The Passat Diesel is one of the best and most underrated Cars in the World! I Love mine
  • @6braceface
    Amazing to see the coolant temperature dip down as well during periods of coasting. That’s a sign of an engine that has very little work to do
  • Funnily enough when I attempted my own range challenge in a BMW 520d with the same tank capacity as your passat I actually ended up on the exact same number in kilometres that you did in miles (1484). And I thought that was impressive. Absolutely lost for words.
  • @ronanmc2112
    Thank the YouTube algorithm for recommending this to me and you guys for making it! Epic trip. Your delight, enthusiasm and relief were great to see throughout. Well done on this achievement 🎉
  • @brybry2k11
    Wonderful achievement, I was so proud of getting 73mpg out of my A6 2.0 ltr tdi Avant, but you guys took it to another level 👌
  • 92mpg is impressive, I thought I was doing well to get 44mpg this week on the French motorway in my petrol Audi TT at normal motorway speeds. I went off the motorway between Reims and Saint Quentin because of the torrential rain with a spectacular thunderstorm
  • Great video. Due to financial constraints many years ago I had no choice but to eek as many mpg out of whatever vehicle I was driving. This style of driving has stayed with me long into the time where I no longer need to worry. Highlights have been 85mpg out of a single tank of diesel in a Peugeot 106d, 37mpg from a Jagaur XK 5.0, and 110mpg out of my Honda NC750X motorcycle...

    Love seeing Charles Leclerc enjoy his summer job!
