Which small diesel hatchback for good fuel economy?
I am considering buying a small diesel hatchback of 3-5 years old for lower tax and higher mpg. Do you have any recommendations?

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.
