I needed a diesel run around...... Found one!

You have a strange view of economy dude. 50mpg is f*cking brilliant, you can't call that thirsty surely?

50mpg from a 200bhp diesel or a 120bhp petrol would be good, I'd be happy with that.

But If a broken Golf with a cheap generic 180bhp remap can manage 60mpg average, then a lighter, much less powerful car should do at least that if not better imo. Also a newer car with modern 'technology', say a 2006 Vectra with only 150bhp should be able to manage that easily. I'm not gonna get into an MPG debate though.

Thought that was your favourite subject?

To me, if a car does an average of 30-35mpg with mixed driving its economical...

'a car'...so you'd be happy with a 106 NAD doing 30mpg like that....

And not my favourite subject since owning all these rubbish thirsty diesels since the golf haha.

Yeah, although I'd try to fix it. I'm not bothered too much for economy, but I'm definitely happy with the 45mpg on 86p a litre veg oil I'm getting in the DT
