    10 miles to a litre is 45.5 mpg, roughly. I would have said that was fairly poor for a small car driven as you say. My 2-litre diesel Mondeo will reliably do well over 50 mpg in the same conditions, and is a comfy old barge into the bargain.

    small cars are crap on motorways because their rev ranges are optimal for city driving. on the motorway they have to rev much higher than a saloon car.

    if you're driving a nova saloon, you should probably just drive it off a bridge with you in it.

    Yet again you crack another joke I don't get, still waiting for you to explain the tax payer one.

    Do you find them good for the motorway it's only a 1200cc but like you said the body shell makes it an ideal motorway mile muncher?
  • Something German and fairly big.

    Angela Merkel? :)


    How about a diesel Mondeo?
  • Me Personally with them miles I'd be running the likes of an elcheapo Specc'd ish Diesel that's throwaway if need be... HDI 90 406 Rapier or the likes... No DPF NO DMF.. Will sit at silly speeds decent MPG.. Fixableish ... Money in the bank.
