13 miles, down what kind of roads?
I'm not surprised the 1.9D is not economical on a 6-mile commute, that's not far enough for it to be beneficial over petrol.
My mate has a Clio 182 and manages high-30s mpg on the daily commute (just over 20 miles each way). I would be too tempted to hoon it every day though. You also have to consider the tax...
My HDi is single-handedly the cheapest car I've ever run, so I would recommend one. My commute is 18 miles each way and it constantly returns over 50mpg and that's down fast A-roads.
