Marriage counseling solution: set Guinness fuel-economy record set in VW Golf

John Taylor and wife Helen, both in their 50s, set a Guinness world record by driving 18,001 miles on only 344 gallons of gas in their unmodified VW Golf. That equates to 52.29mpg.

The

Taylors were on the road for 78 days, driving through

Europe,

Asia, and

North America. The trip started and ended in

London.

The trip was a challenge

from Shell after the

Taylors had shown the oil company they made a 522-mile trip in a Subaru Impreza without refueling. Shell says the

Taylors were chosen considering of their record-breaking experience. They share 34 driving records.

John said that journalists often pressed for details on their relationship during stops, and many “tried to get us divorced.”
