A Peugeot 308 has entered the Guinness Book of Records for travelling the furthest distance on a single tank of fuel.
The 308 HDi 110 turbodiesel managed 1,192 miles around the coast of Australia.
It was part of a 9,000-mile trip by husband and wife team John and Helen Taylor.
They managed the 1,192 miles on just 60-litres of fuel.
This means the Taylors also set a second world record for the best fuel economy from a standard car, which worked out at 90.75mpg.
The only change to the car was fitting energy saving tyres that are available to anyone.
John Taylor said afterwards: 'We were aware of the 308's environmental credentials, but we had no idea it would be such a record breaker.'
The £15,095 308 HDi 110 has an official fuel consumption figure of 62.7mpg.
