That's why it's always important to choose based on the type of driving you do most of the time. How many still have diesels and only ever drive them around town.
I have the Baleno 1.0 on a 16 plate.......I'm getting 58.5 mpg on rural b roads and A roads driving around 20 miles to work every day - on a motorway run at a steady 70 it's even better. Not the most fashionable car in the world, but I bought it for it's frugal running costs. I've had it for 2 yrs, and so far it's been utterly reliable. A little gem for what it does. steve
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru Due to a change in work location it made sense to downsize. This Suzy is only £20 a yr road tax too. That Yaris is bloody amazing fuel economy though isn’t it.
I drive a Ford Focus mk 2 1.6 TDCI (diesel) and it is ridiculously efficient at motorway speeds. I get 55-60mpg on my 8 mile each way commute in summer and 50-55 mpg in winter. However, if I am on a long motorway run I generally get 75mpg, allowing me to do over 700 miles on a 53 litre tank of diesel. Been driving my Dad's Yaris hybrid for commuting for the last week, and its economy is under 50mpg, but this is much better when being used around town.
Great video. I easily get 65 to 74 mpg on motorways and 80 to 90 city driving. I have a late 2012 1.8 Toyota Auris Hybrid. It's a fantastic car, and it has saved me 700 to 900 per year in fuel costs.
My 2006 Prius does 60+mpg on average Motorway/town mixed, easily getting 60mpg on a long 200mile run and this is from an 18 year old car! Think i'll be keeping for awhile, not much progress in 20 years(!)
Personally i run a previous gen Jazz and its pretty epic on a run even at motorway speeds 58mpg we als have a Suzuki swift same engine pretty much as the ignis surprised it didnt hit the list 56 ish mpg actually better than Jazz in town due to light weight i suspect
Why aren't these newer car doing far better MPG?.....I just did a trip to to Paris and back and averaged 47MPG out of the 2.2 Diesel. I had over 50mpg out of our old Leon FR 170 on longer journeys. Thing's really don't seem to have moved forward in the last 15 years
@@DefinitelyNotAGuru yep,some good smaller cars around yes but the bigger motorway munches haven't improved much. Friends 12 plate 520D returns great mpg and the newer ones haven't improved. I would assume the emission will be playing a part, in the Agricultural sector you can easily get far superior fuel economy and massive increases in power at the same time when remapping machine's

My wife's best friend, has a Yaris Cross, and gets mad mpg. Brilliant little car.
Yes 👍

Just uploaded a video my 2018 Ford Focus 2.0 st diesel Stage 2 240hp and 580nm
80.5 mpg A roads and 80% Motorway.
Cheers Jim, some unbelievable numbers there.
Thanks mate

Great car
I got laughed at when i mentioned the fuel consumption to someone of the Yaris Hybrid 59.93mpg with 80mpg in town, there it is in black & white.
👍
Thanks
Thank you Gary 🙏🙏🙏
Such a difference from carburettor fuelled cars. My mums 1.3 carb car is around 35 mpg.

👍👍👍.Thanks Jim
You are very welcome
Can vouch, for the VW up, had a skoda citigo 75, best I got was 84mpg!!
👍👍👍
Got a mk7 VW Golf 1.6 TDi blue motion and commute 80miles a day, probably half motorway half country roads and I average 66mpg!
👍
What would everyone go for if they mostly do long drives with lots of motorway?
I’d get an A6 but if you want MPG look at a Corolla or 1.6 VW TDI (just keep on top of servicing)

I think this video suggests the opposite, we’ve got a petrol car here than can do up to 100 mpg around town.

@@bwarey52yes, 100% emissions
Thanks for your efforts. Never would believe some of those numbers...😮
Cheers Jock
New Peugeot 208 is excellent with mpg
👍
No Corolla in the top ten
👌
👍👍👍
Thanks Jon

Good effort
