As I am doing silly millage at the moment, I want to cut my fuels bill right down.

I am doing about 400-500 miles a week.

So needs to be reiable, not fussed about power, just MPG.

looks like i may have to pay a bit more but i am getting about 19 mpg (about 250 miles to a full tank) at the moment so need a smaller car as well.
So i should make the extra back in fuel i guess after a year.

So I have shortlisted it to Lup TDI, and Corsa 1,3Cdti.

small TDi would be best 55-65mpg

1.3 CDTi corsa C gets a bit moe IIRC
