Decent MPG run a round ?

[YorkshirePadd26]

I'm having thoughts about getting a banger to get me around.

Pug 106 1.5D seam to be in my price range which is up to about £1000.
Its needs to be cheap to run get about 60mpg

Can anyone think of something else ?

Cheaper the better really and I'm not bothered about looks or performance as it just needs to be cheap to run.

Yeah know what you mean,

Probably doing around 900 miles a month, Mostly commuting.

Need something cheap to buy and to run,

Rover 220 D I'm assuming that'd be lots better than a 106 D and probably looking at the on paper mpg does about the same.

Currently drive a Pug 306 Auto which is good but i'm sick of the 34 mpg even when driving like a granny

Also new car doesn't need to be an auto.

I wouldnt want to do lots of driving in a 106 1.5D. What sort of driving do you do?

Mmm I didn't do all the maths first !
Although thats still a saving !

I'm sure if I drove a 106 or 220 D the way I drove the 306 I'd get 60 mpg

Ok back to the drawing board, Cheers

You currently spend £106 a month on fuel.

You'll not get 60+ mpg as an average from a 106D, probably nearer 50. This will cost you £80 a month.

Is it worth the bother to save £26 a month?
