BEST small car for mpg?
Claire currently has a fiesta 1.4 zetec (petrol) and it does about 36mpg. She does about 50 mile a day to and from work so was wanting something that would only use a gallon a day ie: 50+mpg.?
Was thinking about the new Fiat 500 but for what they are they are stupid money.
Doesn't have to be new either.

Sometimes think now if diesel is much better as its a fair bit more expensive now due to twats that is fuel companys.
Though saying that a 1.4TD C2/3 are cheap ish and good MPG fester TDCI, Polo blue motion etc.

I agree with Stu, not as many petrols return as good consumption as you want.
The 1.4 HDi Citroen C3s run on fumes.
But they have similar build quality to a 4 year old's attempt at making the Blue Peter Tracey Island out of potato.
Diesel Fusion, Yaris etc. are good?

What about a smart car
Gotta be the nearest thing you'll get to running on fresh air
Petrol one does 50 mpg and the weazel does 75
Tax costs £35 for the year as well
