The day has gone when you can drive very far on a tenner’s worth of fuel. With the average cost of fuel going well beyond £1.00 a litre, drivers are constantly reviewing their driving lifestyle. Fortunately, Peugeot is our savor thanks to the 308 HDi 90 which consumes petrol like a camel needs water.
A five-door Peugeot 308 S HDi 90 has just travelled the 117 miles round the M25 on less than a ‘tenner’ – £9.95 to be exact. Complete with two passengers and starting with the weight of a full tank of diesel fuel, the 308 returned an impressive 58.8mpg. And the car averaged slightly over 50mph.
The 308 S HDi 90 costs less than £15,000 and thanks to its CO2 emission figure of 120g/km is exempt from Congestion Charging. Suddenly, the frugality takes over the Gallic roots and the camelish 308 appears to be a tempting offer.
