The latest data from RAC Fuel Watch shows that prices for petrol and diesel have stagnated after weeks of price drops. Many motorists have been paying attention to their fuel economy since the record-breaking fuel costs in July, with experts urging drivers to consider more efficient cars.

Toyota Yaris Hybrid

The Yaris 1.5l hybrid engine battery charges every time the driver slows down and the petrol motor acts like a generator. This means drivers do not need to plug it in to charge it like a fully electric car.

It uses its electric motor 80 percent of the time and can be driven in pure electric EV mode with speeds up to 80mph, with zero emissions and zero fuel consumption.

This vehicle averages between 57.6mpg and 68.8 miles per gallon.

Toyota Corolla hybrid

Like the Yaris hybrid, the battery is charged every time they slow down, using recuperated kinetic energy. 

It can’t drive on purely electric power for significant distances, but there are fuel savings, and the smaller battery makes it lighter. 

The 1.8l engine is the cheapest to run, and depending on the alloy wheels fitted, drivers can get 52.45mp to 62.7mpg.

Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer 

The Vauxhall Astra has two versions of the same 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesel engine, one with 120bhp and the other with 108bhp. 

The 108bph is the most economical, as it can get up to 74mph. 

They also have the most affordable road tax of the range because of the ultra-low CO2 emissions.

Skoda Octavia e-Tec

A spokesperson for RegCarCheck said: “The Skoda Octavia has a range of petrol engines, but the 1.0L three-cylinder mild-hybrid e-Tec is the most economical, with 56.6mpg.

“The petrol version also has an impressive fuel economy at 54.3mpg. 

“The Octavia has been a top choice for family cars for a long time, and its new technology makes the engines more efficient than ever.”

Peugeot 308

The 1.5-litre BlueHDi diesel is a little more expensive than the petrol options in the range but does return better fuel efficiency on long journeys, with up to 76.3 – 91.1mpg, in the Active trim.

However, the petrol 1.2 Puretech 110 in the Active trim can get around 60mpg so it’s also a great fuel-efficient choice.

The vehicle ranges from £20,000 to £38,000, with most motoring experts ranking the car as being a reasonably-priced family vehicle.
