How far does one tank of fuel take you in your car?

I don't know, I've driven SEAT's latest green machine from Mid Wales to Cardiff then to Wigan and back and only managed to use just over half a tank.

SEAT claims the Leon Ecomotive will do more than 900 miles on a single fill. Couple this with reduced CO2 emissions and enthusiasts now have a sporty car that also takes care of your wallet as well as the environment.

Volvo used to have a reputation for building solid, practical estate cars.

To be fair it still does – the V70 and V50 might not have the greatest load volumes in their respective sectors, but their squared off tailgates ensure they’re the right shape for transporting large, boxed items.

To most people, the new V60 – a ‘sports wagon’ version of the new S60 saloon – will be an estate, but according to Volvo’s definition of an estate car was based on its ability to carry a washing machine with the rear seats in place.

The best deals in the motor trade are done by bucking the trend.  If “everybody” is down-sizing and going for diesel, look for something larger and petrol.

Pushed by Euro V (and soon to arrive Euro VI) emissions rules the premium paid for diesel is rising and pump prices for Derv already dilute the mpg advantage.

There is a trend back to petrol in the small car market but, if you are after something bigger, Skoda’s new Superb will give you food (and fuel) for thought.

Upper-medium ‘volume’ cars are under siege. Many buyers are downsizing to the lower-medium sector (Golf, Focus and Toyota’s own Auris, etc.) and the rest are attracted by once exclusive ‘premium badges’ such as BMW and Mercedes.

Determined to hang on to a chunk of what remains a big sector, volume makers have responded with a big 'quality offensive' and loading up the kit. Known in a previous life as ‘Carina’, the first Avensis came in 1997 and this is the third.

A major player on the small car scene, Renault has a track record on larger cars too. It was first to market with a mid-range front wheel drive hatchback, for example. The Renault 16 of 1960s was a radical design and so, to an extent, were the even larger 20 and 30 models afterwards. With the launch of the first Megane in 1995 it came up again with a competitive lower medium “Euro-Hatch”.

Apart from getting in early on the trend to differentiate between 'sporty' three- and 'family' five-door variants, saloon, estate and folding hard-top coupe-cabriolet models came too. The real innovation here, however, was the first Scenic in 1996. By offering a down-sized Espace concept the Megane ushered in the first Compact MPV – and shook up the whole lower-medium sector.
