There was a similar article over here in the states a coupla years back.  
'Cept this time the average speed was around 37mph in fifth.  The car 
went over 1700 miles on one tank.  I think it had a 22 gallon tank and 
got a bit over 80 mpg.  Anybody that has a copy of this article know the 
particulars?  It's been a while.  Cool as grits article though.
