The super-frugal Ibiza Ecomotive has once again proved its green credentials by clocking up astonishing average fuel economy of 120.4 mpg on a mammoth 1,186-mile tour of 12 European countries.
At the wheel was economy driving specialist Gerhard Plattner. In April, the Austrian notched up an average of 97.4 mpg on a drive from SEAT SA’s HQ at Martorell, near Barcelona, to Göttingen in Germany in April.
This time Herr Plattner set out from Cieszyn in Poland after the IPMC (International Police Motor Corporation) sealed both the SEAT’s bonnet and its fuel filler. Then, with around 45 litres of fuel at his disposal, the Austrian economy ace embarked on his ambitious tour of 12 Europe.
Herr Plattner drove through the cities of Mosty (Czech Republic), Bratislava (Slovakia), Hegyeshalom (Hungary), Graz (Austria), Varazdin (Croatia), Maribor (Slovenia), Toblach (Italy), Innsbruck (Austria), Schaan (Liechtenstein), Zurich (Switzerland) and Saint-Louis (France) before finishing in Frankfurt (Germany).
