    know there are a lot of options and some of the more favourable reviews seem to lean towards a Skoda Superb, Skoda Octavia, BMW 3 Series Efficient Dynamics, VW Passat GTE or Seat Leon ST.   As stated, my main objective is to make it as fuel efficient a journey as possible as I'm currently
• Fuel Card? Worth it!? 17 Nov 2015 (Forum)
  , this means you could make quite a lot of cash? (I could take a fuel card, but again it seems unless you do HUGE private mileage and very very little business mileage it just doesn't add up, for example say you do 25,000 private miles a year @ 50mpg, this costs about £2500 at the pumps (109p

  On my 2003 1.8IXS the instument dials are white. Now, the fuel gauge has two black dots on the right of the gauge which must just be the fixings? or do they mean anything?

• Peugeot 307 diesel 2 Litre HDi - Can you make a Peugeot 307 fuel supply foolproof? 21 Apr 2015 (Forum)
  I have read a good deal about various Peugeots, 206, 306, 307, which had severe problems that were very difficult to diagnose.  They were expensive to correct as diagnosis was often flawed. It turned out that a frequent cause had to do with dirt in the fuel, resulting from bad handling
