Top 8 high MPG affordable used cars
Petrol prices are at a record high with no end in sight! The average price per litre for unleaded fuel is at a
record high of 1.35 a litre, Diesel price per litre is averaging at about 1.41 a litre. 10 years ago these were
0.70p and 0.80 respectively. When the cost per litre surpassed 1.00 a litre many motorists started thinking of
alternative fuel vehicles. Low Pressure Gas (LPG) vehicles were very popular in the 2004-2009, but since
then electric powered cars have taken over.
Peoples thinking of trading in their for a brand new one could save themselves a decent about buy buying a
fuel efficient second hand car instead. What Car? has put together a list of 8 used cars starting from 3,000
