The new engines in all cars are improving mpg beyond recognition. Our new Warrior 2.5Di is doing a minimum 38mpg. (Road Tax same as a Cooper). Our (06) 2.2 CRV does 43-48mpg. The Alfa 2.0JTS does a regular 55-58mpg on a cross country run. (Yes we have a few cars!)

Compare this to my dads 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee he's just got rid of. That was a 4.0litre sraight six Auto that did 12 mpg at best wind assisted (Felt like 10 lamposts to the £1)
