Miles per gallon

I think we probably need to know why the OP wants as many mpg as possible. Judging by the way the question has been worded, I'd say [s]he knows absolutely nothing about cars. This leads to the natural conclusion that [s]he believes that 'running costs', 'ownership costs' and 'fuel efficiency' are exactly the same thing.

If you're after the lowest possible fuel usage, then fine, spend £20,000 on something brand new and highly fuel efficient, but it'll cost you considerably more in the long run than buying a three year old example of the same thing which does fractionally fewer mpg.

More info needed.

And, as i asked yesterday, an indication of their budget would be useful.

Think the OP says cheap - I would guess sub 1k..

If mpg is the main consideration, the Smart City/ForTwo diesel is fairly impressive at 85+ mpg.

Op has also started another mpg thread, yakking about towing a 1800kg trailer and mpg.

Come on mate, one thread and answer when people are trying to help.

Fair enough.

O/P, whats your budget?

If its going to be a small car it will be around £1000 to £1500.

But as you are aware I have an other post regarding a tow.
if I go down the tow car option my buget woukd be around £15,000.as I would sell my x5 and put some cash towards it.

thanks

I'd be interested in the answer to this also as I'm starting to think about my next winter shed.

I was orginally think of the Aygo/C1/107 as they are about 60mpg and only £20 to tax, but they are quite expensive to buy for a shed.

I'm currently thinking of a 1.0 12v Corsa C, seen lowish milage ones with tax and MOT for £800ish. Look to be about 50mpg

Volvo V40D is >50mpg. I had one as a daily for a while and really liked it.

Peugeot 106 1.5d. I could get about 750miles from a single tank, and the tank was tiny can buy one for about the same as a box of coco pops too
