  serviced, and for much of the time I use it for local runs with the odd long distance trip of 80 to 120 miles.  I am lucky to get 25mpg on short runs, and the long distance trips hardly make any difference.  I am not heavy-footed -- I had a Toyota Corolla 1.3 automatic (with a three speed gearbox

  of driving, short distances to long motorway runs it has never achieved better than 300miles per tank. Mostly the driving we do in the car is 6 miles each end of the day to the train station and then longer runs (150 miles+) at the weekends, this mix of driving conditions still means we end up with a fuel

  If you have a new diesel car on the motability scheme and your DPF filter clogs up because you only drive locally and can't be cleared on a long run meaning a trip to the dealer who will foot the bill? If it is a manufacturer's problem then they will but this problem only occurs if you don't
