Can't think of any petrol models that do. Normally the best you get is 25mph / 1,000rpm in 6th. Just about every diesel is geared at between 30mph and 40mph per 1,000rpm.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

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.
