It is becoming increasingly clear that the current car buying market are hungry for cars that are economical and generally better for the environment. This mood has been demonstrated quite significantly over the last few weeks thanks to the Volkswagen emissions scandal. By now you will have probably have been inundated with reports on which cars underachieve and aren’t quite as economical as their marketing would suggest, but which cars are the most economical?

1. Peugeot 208 1.6 Blue HDi – 94.1mpg
2. Peugeot 308 Blue HDi – 91.1mpg
3. Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi – 88.3mpg
4. Volkswagen Golf BlueMotion – 88.3mpg
5. Kia Rio 1.1 CRDi – 88.3mpg
6. Renault Clio 1.5 dCi – 88.3mpg
7. Skoda Octavia Greenline – 88.3mpg
8. Ford Fiesta Econetic – 85.6mpg
9. Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi – 85.6mpg
10. SEAT Leon Ecomotive – 85.6mpg

No sh*t! I fully expected to see my second hand Ford F150 to be on that list! Psych! Obviously whether or not a car has good MPG doesn’t necessarily mean that the car is clean in terms of emissions (I don’t think it does anyway), so I am going to go to my good friend google and find a list of cars that have  good emissions numbers, until of course we find out those numbers are dodgy and mean nothing.

Petrol:

1. Suzuki Celerio 1.0 SZ3 Dualjet – CO2: 84/NOx: 27
2. Citroen C1 1.0 VTi Flair 68hp S&S 3 door – CO2: 88/NOx: 27
3. Fiat 500C 0.9 TwinAir Pop Star 85HP – CO2: 90/NOx: 33
4. Fiat 500 0.9 TwinAir Pop Star 85HP – CO2: 90/NOx: 33
5. Smart fortwo coupe 1.0 passion 71hp start/stop – CO2: 93/NOx: 6
6. SEAT Ibiza ST 1.0 EcoTSI SE 95PS – CO2: 94/NOx: 21
7. SEAT Ibiza SC 1.0 EcoTSI SE 95PS – CO2: 94/NOx: 27
8. VW Polo 1.0 TSI BlueMotion 95PS – CO2: 94/NOx: 21
9. SEAT Ibiza 1.0 EcoTSI SE 95PS – CO2: 94/NOx: 21
10. Fiat Panda 0.9 TwinAir Easy 85HP Dualogic – CO2: 95/NOx: 12

Again, no sign of my second hand Ford F150, good job everyone else cares about the environment.
