Many drivers may fancy themselves especially talented when it comes to saving on gas, but one couple puts everyone else to shame. John and Helen Taylor, along with their sponsor Shell, recently began a cross-country drive to spread the word about fuel-efficiency.
The Taylors are certainly no strangers to saving on gas. They own two fuel companies and have reportedly set 88 records for their smart driving. According to Shell, they drove through 25 different countries (covering more than 18,000 miles) and only used 24 tanks of gas in the process.
Their most recent endeavor, in which they hope to drive through each of the 48 contiguous states, kicked off from Los Angeles, and just two days into the trip they were already in Texas.
"By setting out for another fuel economy record using practical tips, we're excited to show everyday motorists how they can become more fuel efficient drivers through the Shell Smarter Driving program," said Helen Taylor.
