That's an interesting fact, I didn't know that. It also mentions the the Audi 80 TDi holds the record for the most efficient round-the-world trip.

I think you mean 'held' the record. AFAIK that record is still held by the car that beat the record in 2000. See here.

Interestingly Gerhard Plattner is also in the record books for driving through 20 European countries on <100€ of fuel. Averaging 101 mpg and 50 mph, and covering 4,683 kilometres.
Although I think the car in question doesn't require that much skill to get those sort of figures, it does a lot of the hard work for you.
