Plattner said, “With fuel consumption well below the specified norm, I want to show that besides the car manufacturers, every driver can contribute to further reduce this environmental pollution. It already starts with small details such as the proper tire pressure."
The Fabia GreenLine features a 1.2-litre diesel engine, and Skoda officially quotes a fuel consumption figure of 3.4 litres per 100km for the car. However, Plattner averaged a mere 2.2 litres per kilometre during the journey, with the entire trip supervised by International Police Motor Corporation (IPMC), who also fuelled the car and sealed the tank before the start of the challenge.

The feat was achieved on May 10, when Plattner started his journey in Reutte, Austria, and drove all the way to Bov, Denmark, and then back again, covering a total distance of 2,006 kilometres. Plattner travelled most of the distance on motorways, but declined to disclose his secrets to achieving the amazing feat.
