Are 1.2-litre diesel engines economical?
Hi there,
What would be a typical mpg from a 2009 Polo 1.4 TDI if you're a steady and careful driver? What do you think about the 1.2 TDI engines? Are they too small to get good mpg? All the websites that deal with cars' mpg show 1.6 as being the most economical. Is this changing at all?
Regards David

I want a car with better than 60mpg economy!
Hi, I've read your piece about petrol vs diesel. Trouble is, I want a car that does better mpg. I have a petrol Polo 2009 1.2 (80,000km) that does about 45 to the gallon. I can trade this in with about €8-9K but it must have good mpg - 60+. We don't do that many miles a year but we'd head off to England and back and be forever filling up. What do you recommend looking at?
