Most economical car a for 160 mile daily commute
In the new year I will be starting a 160 round mile commute daily, so over 3k miles a month. Approx 30 miles of this will be motorway, the rest fast A roads. I need a super-economical sub £2k car that can get me there and back reliably each day for the least amount of outlay but that isn't a pain at motorway speeds. Residuals are not an issue as after 2 years, I expect the car to be worthless.

Try to find a SEAT Ibiza or Skoda Fabia 1.9TDI 90.

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.
