who has the all time best diesel mileage

ok i was wondering if anyone could beat these numbers...my record is 31.8 mph with my S.O. in Malibu doing 49 mph empty.. now there needs to be some ground rules. use the trip computer over the course of 5 miles on flat ground. i know that computer is not even close to accurate but i don't have the Patience for an entire tank run. so be honest flat ground only any speed any gear and mod. I would love to see if the S.O. is more efficient than the H.O..
