Will a 1997 SEAT Alhambra be more economical than our R-reg Ford Galaxy?

I own an R-reg Ford Galaxy GLX, 2-litre. I want something a little cheaper to run, as I do two one-and-a-half-hour school runs a day through town. Will the 1997 SEAT Alhambra diesel as a 1.9-litre be cheaper in fuel?

Yes. Should do about 35mpg across town.

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.
