Real 60mpg cars - can you suggest any?

What are your choices for a true 60mpg car ?

I'm looking to change my current car, 2008 Peugeot 207 SW 1.4VVTi for something more economical as I now have to drive to work two days per week 100 miles each day and need room to take my equipment I use in my job.

One day each week I travel 25 return miles and on the last day six miles to work & back.

This does not include any leisure mileage but I'm hoping to find a car that will give me better economy and lower VED and maintenance costs, plus good to drive.

Not much to ask really!

Only one: BMW F30 320dED. I just averaged 63mpg over 7,000 miles in 7 months to end Feb 2013.
