What's the best used car for a long commute?

What’s the best car for real-world economy on a 130-mile round trip commute.

I'd recommend the Honda Civic 1.6 i-DTEC diesel (built from 2012 to 2017). It's comfortable and smooth on the motorway, easy to drive and returns around 65mpg on-the-road: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/honda/civic-2012

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
