Shell EcoMarathon Asia, prototype class, won by ethanol vehicle going 2,731 km on 1 Liter of ethanol
http://blogs.wsj.com/searealtime/2014/02/12/in-manila-less-is-more-in-this-race/Thai students drove the longest distance on a single liter of fuel after three days of competition in fourth edition of Shell Eco-Marathon Asia, sustaining their winning record.
The Asian edition of the challenge to create the most fuel-efficient vehicle was held for the first-time in Manila Feb. 6-9, and in street conditions instead of a racetrack, which makes it more difficult to travel longer distance on a single liter of fuel.

Team 'How Much Ethanol' from Panjavidhya Technological College in Thailand covered a total 2,730.83 kilometers on a liter of ethanol, the distance between Manila and Jakarta. The team was entered in the prototype class, where vehicles are more futuristic-looking, have a single seat and usually have three wheels.
Virgin, a team from Thailand’s Sakonnakhon Technical College, covered 1,796.03 kilometers on a liter of gasoline while the team from Ratanakosin Technological College ran the distance of 263.4 kilometers on a battery with a charge equivalent to one kilowatt-hour.
