Vectra 1.9 cdti 150 estate mapped to about 190. Perfect balance of fuel economy and performance. No doubt thirstier than something like the focus 1.6 cdti or Astra 1.3 cdti but it's a lot bigger than them and still returns really good MPG.

Avensis 2 litre tdi estate. Comfortable, a bit of space for dogs, catch,tools, any firewood I spot laying around and if it's driven smoothly it gets around 5 litres per 100 kilometres (47 to the gallon). Less around town, more like 35 to 40 mpg then.

More comfortable for carrying people than a van too but once I'm on rough roads and tracks I often wish I'd bought a landy. Especially with the way the prices ( of landrovers) are going up.
