As cars are becoming more and more efficient, the fuel economy of the car has started to play a more pivotal role in the decision making process of which car to buy. Drivers have become more concerned about how many miles per gallon they will and how much the car will cost to run on a daily basis. The latest cars to the Market are outstanding when it comes to fuel efficiency but which car is the best over all. Not only have cars increased their fuel efficiency performance but they are also producing less CO2 emissions which will reduce the drivers road tax. A test has recently been carried out to find the best cars on the market with regard to mpg; these results have been taken from the most fuel-efficient cars on sale in the UK according to their combined mpg. In rank order the results show the top eight cars being: 1 – Peugeot 308 Blue HDi = 91.1 mpg 2 – Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion = 88.3 mpg 3 – Hyundai i20 1.1 CRD = 88.3 mpg 4 – Kia Rio 1.1 CRDi = 88.3 mpg 5 – Renault Clio 1.5 dCi = 88.3 mpg 6 – Skoda Octavia Greenline = 88.3 mpg 7 – Ford Fiesta Econetic = 85.6 mpg 8 – Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi = 85.6 mpg Obviously the smaller cars are coming out on top in these results but when choosing a car you have to take more into account than just the mpg. Smaller cars are great for city living but for someone with family or long commutes the smaller car isn't going to be the best option. You have to look at what works for you best. Diesel engines do give better fuel efficiency and are growing in popularity but if your daily travel is short journeys diesel engines don't perform as we'll as petrol. There is a great deal of things to consider when buying a new car and the fuel economy is only one factor. What ever you do make sure you do your research and if possible test drive each option to see what feel best for you.
