en.Wedoany.com Reported - German YouTuber "Offroadventure" recently completed an ultra-long-range challenge in a 1998 Volkswagen Passat B5 1.9 TDI diesel, driving 2,398 kilometers on a single tank of diesel, with an average fuel consumption of 3 liters per 100 kilometers.

To achieve the goal of covering over 2,300 kilometers, the vehicle underwent several optimizations, including removing excess weight, dismantling the roof rack and antenna, replacing filters, using special low-viscosity oil, fitting low-rolling-resistance tires with increased tire pressure, and aerodynamic enhancements such as enclosed wheel hubs.

The journey started from Hildesheim, Germany, passing through Hamburg, Denmark, and the Øresund Bridge into Sweden, ultimately reaching the Arctic Circle. The driving strategy involved maintaining a constant speed and utilizing the slipstream of trucks, avoiding unnecessary acceleration. After approximately 1,000 kilometers, the average fuel consumption stabilized at around 3 liters per 100 kilometers.

The reserve fuel light came on at about 2,090 kilometers. Ultimately, the vehicle achieved a range of 2,398 kilometers on a single tank of diesel, surpassing the previous best record of 1,913 kilometers. This feat demonstrates the endurance potential of the 1.9-liter diesel engine under specific driving techniques and external conditions.
