Pence Per Mile: These Are The Ten Cheapest Cars To Drive
Owning and driving a car is indisputably expensive. Whether it’s maintenance, tax or fuel, the costs add up. We spend £60,000 on fuel in a lifetime. So, here’s the ten best cars for miles per gallon…
Kia Picanto
By Vauxford
A Picanto is hardly an exciting option. But not everyone wants an exciting option. Instead, they want something that’s reliable and affordable. The Picanto is both, offering a seven year warranty and running at 12.19p per mile.
Fiat 500
By Pava, Milano
The Fiat 500 is a great fun to drive, with all the nippiness and punch you’d expect from its class. But it’s also cheap to drive, with an approachable starting price of £11,100 and costing just 12.03p per mile travelled.
Seat Arona
By Vauxford
Yes, it’s possible to get a ‘big’ car that’s also reasonable on the wallet when it comes to running costs. The Seat Arona is a good example. It’s a spacious crossover that’s pleasant to drive and has plenty of tech to ferret through. It’ll pinch just 12.03p for each mile travelled.
Audi A3
By Vauxford
The Audi A3 is perfect if you’re looking for something between an executive or family option. It looks great, performs well and, surprisingly, only sets you back 11.98p a mile. Not bad at all for a German ‘executive’ car.
Volkswagen Polo
By Vauxford
The Polo is a great entry-level car. It’s like a tiny Golf for, well, people who don’t need a Golf. Sure, it’s hardly the quickest car going around. But it is one of the cheapest to run, costing drivers just 11.56p for every mile clocked.
Volkswagen Golf
By M 93
If the Polo is a tiny Golf, is the Golf a big Polo? Probably not. It is, after all, one of the world’s most iconic and successful cars. As well as superb handling and attractive styling, VW’s famous hatchback runs at 11.46p per mile. Perfect.
Seat Leon
By Vauxford
Ah, the ‘Spanish’ Golf. That was a name that might have raised a few eyebrows once upon a time, but the most recent iteration has justified it beyond reproach. The Seat is a Latin-inspired Golf through and through, it’s just a bit cheaper. It’ll even run at 11.31p per mile. Just bear in mind that it’ll depreciate at a faster rate than a Golf because of its logo…Or something.
Peugeot 208
By Alexander Migl
Were you expecting a Peugeot to make one of the top spots? The 208, with a 1.0-litre Puretech 68 engine, will set you back 10.90p a mile. Impressive, right?
Toyota Yaris
By EurovisionNim
Toyota has clearly cracked the code when it comes to fuel economy, bagging both second and first place. The Yaris has been around for just shy of a decade, but a new version is due this year. A Yaris 1.0 will pinch just 10.60p a mile.
Toyota Aygo
By Vauxford
Ok, it’s not all on Toyota. The Aygo, which bags the top spot, actually rests on a platform shared by both Peugeot and Citroen. The Aygo 1.0, nevertheless, costs a wonderful 10.55p per mile travelled; not that you’ll necessarily be covering very many in one. Still, it’s the best option if you want solid fuel economy.
