Congrats Team! What highway speed was most commonly maintained? I saw 52 MPH mentioned on one of the days.
Thanks,
Brad

And if they want to beat the record they just set, repeat the trip this summer in either the HCH or the new Insight.

Re: Hypermilers complete new Guinness verified World Record at 68.54mpg (US)!
Congratulations on this fantastic achievement. As other have said, this was done under less than ideal conditions.
Seeing the new Honda Insight, I can see another record in the making in 2009. 
Hope you're able to enjoy a bit of R & R after what must have been a very tiring 12 days.
Cheers from another of your Canadian fans,
Roger |

Well Done All. Concerning the Taylors, they should be cordially invited to Hybridfest 2009 for the inevitable fuel economy contest there. Sponsored by Volkswagen/Shell? so much the better!

I think we can be good sports and not rub it in.
Remember, Guniness is slow on the paperwork - it's still possible that they might not recognize it for some kind of red tape.
