What's the best car for a 100 mile daily commute?
I commute from Leamington Spa to Oxford each day. This is a mix of motorway (M40) and Oxford stop start traffic. I have been driving an Octavia 1.6 diesel. Would I be better to get a hybrid?

That's 48 miles, so roughly 100 miles a day and 500 miles a week. A self-charging hybrid probably makes more sense than a diesel, offering about the same economy overall, but not facing any forthcoming ban from sensitive town centres (such as Oxford).
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

I do a daily commute of approx 40 miles each way. I can charge a hybrid vehicle at work. What should I buy?
I'm looking for a new company car and l'm interested in hybrid vehicles due to the lower BiK rates in comparison with diesels. I will be doing regular 100-mile journeys, so need to factor in real world...
I do 108 miles per day to get to work with a 1.2-litre petrol car and I am thinking of swapping for something more economical? Is diesel or Hybrid the best economical option?
