Best used car for fuel economy?
I'm looking at possibly getting a new(er) car to replace my Mk2 Volkswagen Golf that averages at about 25mpg. I'm looking for an automatic that gets better mpg (at least 40+) for £2500 or less. Any suggestions?

Yes, Toyota Yaris Verso with the 1.3 petrol engine and four-speed torque converter auto. More practical, but questionable looks. A SEAT Atea auto will have a DSG transmission that I don't recommend. And a Dodge Caliber is great big lumpy thing with a VW engine that I don't recommend either.
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.

More room and better handling than the previous version. Excellent crash test rating. 1.4 D-4D does 50mpg +.
