8. Volvo S60 1.6 DRIVe 115

My Bentley does about 16 mpg so I might swap it for Mini,but am worried what the neighbours will think.

,

If you are using the manufacturers figures then I do not believe a word of it. Time and time again it has been proven that in the real world these figures are unattainable.

Try getting your facts straight.

If you have tested it yourself then that is a different matter

THE CARS THAT GO FURTHEST ON A TANK OF FUEL

So they haven't got large fuel tanks then??????

Surely a more useful article would be on cars that go furthest on 20 litresof fuel (or whatever)

My  1999 2.5l petrol vectra does about 45 mpg when driven at 65-70 mph on a motorway.

Averages around 33 mpg combined and 24 mpg in urban areas. If you drive with a light right foot, you will be surprised how much fuel you can save.

 Also, would I be wrong in saying that most fuel consumption tests are done on a rolling road, with no wind resistance, hills or corners, which all help to drain your tank during every day driving?

I've had the same broom for thirty years and have only had to replace the handle twice and the head three times.

On my typical journey to work, a 30 mile round trip, on mostly 60 mph limit roads with little traffic my BMW 330 D will give 620- 650 miles on a tankful of diesel.

On a recent trip from Tukey to the UK at an average speed over 2,600 miles of 65 mph in 2 1/2 days the fuel consumption was about 55 mpg. Not bad for a 7 year old car.
