2006 CDI mpg record

Does anybody on the forum know anything about the details of the Laredo to Tallahassee run with the 3 CDI's back in 05', or 06', I can not find anything other than the little bits that were published. They apparently got 49mpg, all that I know is that these cars ran the 1000 plus miles after the torcher test in Laredo Texas. No details about how fast they drove to Florida, how many stops, did they use cruise control, did they have highway escorts that opened up the road so they could have kept a steady speed to get that high Mpg. Also, I have read that the CDI for the European market gets a 2:47 rear instead of the 2:65 for the US models which would give it alot more mpg's
If anybody has any inside info, let r rip, I would like to hear the details.
