A bunch of German diesels have 70L+ tanks and can comfortably cruise under 7L/100km at highway speeds. Passat, Audi A4, A6, and A8, BMW 3, 5 and 7 series, Mercedes C, E and S class.

So the trick is just burn more fuel!

My hybrid is running at 4.8-5 L/100.

That is under 7L too...

PS: if you had a 50L tak you car can do 1.000km too
