    If you want an accurate figure for MPG, I would go to Honest John MPG figures.

    There are fewer Diesels on the list, but you cant beat them for MPG.

    Hybrids arent good if you do a lot of motorway miles, around town they are very good.

    I’ve said it before in a few other posts, but I was looking at the XC40 and real world is low 30’s MPG – it is petrol and its a big heavy lump.

    I am looking at the Peugot 2008 now, and a few motoring journalists have road tested it and a few have quoted 47 mpg. Some of the newer small 3 cylinder turbo engines are very frugal, however – if you boot it – the MPG will fall through the floor…

    Around town – Hybrid.

    Lots of motorway miles…Diesel

    Difficult to pick something you like and cheap to run. No point comparing your old car…its emissions were probably terrible and banned…lol
