Despite the pleading protestations to convince the general public to leave their cars at home and step aboard public transport, the Government and local authorities don’t exactly make it the convenient and cost-friendly solution that one would hope. The prices on buses and trains consistently sky rocket and the quality and frequency of service invariably falls dramatically. So what most of us are looking for is cost-effective transport, which is easily maintained, reliable and isn’t full of litter or smells like a particularly abused dustbin. What the general public are crying out for is a series of cars that are suitable for city driving; great handling, good performance at low revs, economical and ecologically sound. With some research I found, with relative ease, a great choice of car to fit the bill.

Vauxhall have been manufacturing popular cars for years now, but in the emergence of more ecologically aware society, many manufacturers have come under scrutiny for their ‘green’ (or not) policies and products. Fortunately Vauxhall have next to nothing to worry themselves about in this matter. The Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi produces class-leading low CO2 emissions and is capable of reaching around 70 miles to the gallon, which is not only kinder on your wallet, but considerably kinder on the environment.

 With more and more of us learning to drive every year and with the social stigma placed on gas-guzzling cars, there is a huge scope to be mobile yet environmentally friendly. The Diesel Corsa has all the style and panache you would find desirable in a city car, yet maintains all the practicalities that we are being forced to pay more attention too.

The Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi is a popular seller in the hatchback market and a suitable vehicle for learners who may not drive the most economically, city dwellers and those who need affordable transport from day to day.

In todays current climate we all have to consider cutting down on luxuries etc, one fairly large proportion of our monthly budgets goes towards the cost of the petrol we put in our cars.This makes it so important to have a vehicle that gets you the most mileage for your money.With fuel efficient cars being the future of tomorrow we have many more options than we did say five years ago.  There are several types of fuel efficient cars you might want to consider two in particular are the Citroen and Peugeot.Both these cars are available in the UK with several reasonable deals. 

A lot of fuel efficient cars are run on diesel.A diesel engine tends to be much more economical on fuel consumption per mile.Many diesel engines can give an average of 30 miles or more to the gallon.That is significant if you have a 13 gallon tank.You could in fact achieve 400 miles from a tank of petrol.

A Volkswagen beetle or the Jetta are also highly fuel efficient motors.A VW beetle can achieve about 27 miles per gallon.That is quite a lot when you consider trucks and other cars weigh in at 20 to 25 mpg.

The most fuel efficient car is going to be the hybrid.A hybrid uses solar powered energy to make the vehicle drive.The engine will use the solar power and keep recycling power for as long as the sun is appearing.Fuel in these cars is for powering the engines solar power system as well as for driving when the solar power has finished.Electric motor cars are the same.   You have fuel just in case you run out of electricity to convert to power.  In some of these vehicles you can go more than 30 miles, sometimes even over 100 miles without using more than a couple of gallons of fuel.This equates to many hours of driving without needing to top up with fuel.

The prices of the fuel efficient car is coming down.They are definately becoming more affordable.The Prius is one of the most sought after hybrids.The mileage and comfort of this car is really good.When looking for a new car then fuel efficiency must surely play a major part!
