The 308 HDi 110 has just secured its place in the 2009 Guinness Book of Records.

Driving around the coast of Australia in a standard Peugeot 308 HDi 110, a husband and wife team, John and Helen Taylor, set two new world records by driving a standard Peugeot 308 HDi 110 hatchback on a 25 day, 9,000 mile journey around the coast of Australia.

During the journey they broke two world records by recording an unprecedented 1,192 miles on just 60 litres of diesel fuel and an average fuel consumption of 90.75 mpg.

The Peugeot 308 HDi 110 hatchback now holds the World Record for both the highest average fuel consumption on a journey, a record previously held by a Peugeot 307 hatchback, and the record for the furthest distance travelled on a full tank of fuel.

The 308 is available with a range of fuel efficient engines, including the HDi 90 and 110 bhp diesel models which also have CO2 emissions of only 120 g/km. This reduces the vehicle�s excise duty to only �35.00 and with combined fuel consumption of 62.7 mpg also reduces everyday running costs.
