"during which one of the Accords achieved a staggering 92 mpg average."
I wonder what the other one got. Over a 419 mile run, that is pretty
impressive, if it is similar to what the other one got. Over a 30 mile
stretch, I got 65 in my Honda Civic Hybrid in rush hour traffic at ~45 mph.

What's the altitude at Papenburg? My airport chart shows 3 meters
compared to 461 for Wiesbaden, so that adds to the load.

3.07l/100km == 92 imp mpg == 76 US mpg
