It shouldn't be overlooked, that petrol engines can be efficient, i live in Scotland and have a 1200cc Renault Clio, and it a can comfortably return 35mpg on motorways, and as much as 45mpg if driven sensibly.
I know this is nothing startling, but this is a small engined car, which only has a 4 speed manual gearbox, but i can still happily sit at 95mph on the motorway
