MPG Listings

SiHH · 23 Jan 2008 at 20:03

Anyone know of any sites that list makes/models of cars by MPG ?

GreenMint · 23 Jan 2008 at 20:08

parkers.co.uk has a profile on most car models, listing most of thier mpg, if thats any help?

SiHH · 23 Jan 2008 at 20:09

Im really after a list of the highest MPG at the top with the worst at the bottom if that makes sense. Thanks anyway.

parkers listings are highly dubious, just like any really, list MPG is never going to be achieved.

new VW Polo BlueMotion diesel is one of the top ones if not the top, if it helps.

It's also a perfect example of why such figures suck as in reality when one was tested it struggled to better 50mpg.

Google is your friend - try 'cars by mpg' for starters

Hmmm, he got 80mpg driving at a constant 56mph on the flat. Very real world.

For a more real world indication of its economy:

http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/RoadTestsVerdict/Volkswagen-Polo-1.4-TDI-80-BlueMotion-2/229419/

First, while it is clearly very frugal, no owner is going to realise those headline-grabbing near 90mpg returns unless they drive impractically slowly. On our touring route, which is designed to extract the best possible fuel consumption while still driving in a real-world environment, the Polo gave just 51.8mpg – good, but not ground-breaking.

You are not going to find much better than that. There is no all-ecompasing list of every car ranked by MPG. You'll need to research the sector you are buying in to find that.

MPG isnt the biggest cost in motoring anyway so dont get too hung up about it.

Well it is from a company car point of view with no fuel card. Oh that and emissions.

I have the option to get a company car if I wish and am just doing the maths at the moment to see if its right for me.

The Mini Diesel looks attractive at the moment to keeps costs down..

Look at the BMW 118d if you want a company car. It's C02-tastic whilst retaining excellent performance.

Slightly lower MPG than the Mini and higher list price but will consider it. Thanks

And to really **** off the environmentalists, it has a lower CO2 figure then the Toyata Privus!

And this maybe the only time you will hear this about the 1 series .... it has a larger boot then the Mini as well.

Yes but the Mini is apallingly slow.

No one will ever get me in a 118d again, I hated every second I had to sit in the thing. Felt like stopping, flipping the bonnet and getting out to check whether it actually had an engine in their or just an armadillo and some loose bolts shaking around.

I've got a 320d es auto courtesy car next week which I am looking forward to driving about as much.

SiHH · 24 Jan 2008 at 13:55

I have test drive for the Mini and BMW 118d on Monday so will report back with my findings.
