The closest you will get will be a Toyota Yaris 1999-2005, 1.0 or preferably 1.3, but even this assumes you can find a good one. They were a favourite of older women drivers so quite a few were lightly used.
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.
