With more and more pressure on Car Manufacturers to produce more Economical New cars which use less fuel and put out fewer emissions than ever, cars of today is no longer about mph but more about mpg!

Below we have listed 10 Economical Vehicles which are among the most economical cars on the road in the UK. Here at lease cars we don’t only provide you with the cheapest available deals, but some of the cheapest cars to run and you'll never have to pay a penny for road tax on any of them under the current car tax bands.

1. Smart Fortwo CDi - 86g/km and 85.6mpg.

Smart Fortwo CDi is the top of the UK eco charts but with it only being a two seater its position is coming under threat from 4 or 5 Seater Cars. With Just 86g/km of CO2 and 96.8mpg from its diesel which is an amazing achievement, but how long before we see a manufacturer produce a vehicle that breaks the 100mpg barrier?

2. Skoda Fabia Greenline II - 89g/km 83.1mpg

The Skoda Fabia Greenline II has achieved something that Volkswagen couldn’t form the same 1.2-litre 3-cylinder engine used in the Polo and that’s 83.1mpg, the Fabia beats it for economy with 89g/km of Co2. The Skoda Fabia estate has loads of space and practicality on offer too.

3. VW Polo Bluemotion - 91g/km and 80.7mpg

The Volkswagen Polo Bluemotion hatch isn't quite as eco as the Fabia estate - but it's not a million miles away. The polo is still capable of 80.7mpg while only producing91g/km of co2. But the Polo has lots of mini-Golf Bluemotion similarities.

4. SEAT Ibiza Ecomotive - 92g/km and 80.7mpg

The Seat Ibiza Ecomotive trails both its VW Group siblings in the CO2 efficiency stakes, but the Ibiza still returns impressive figures of 80.7mpg and 92g/km from the new 1.2 TDI Ecomotive range and even the roomy new Ibiza ST estate achieves the 80mpg mark.

5. Vauxhall Corsa 1.3 CDTi 95 - 98g/km and 76.3mpg

Vauxhalls main competitor is Ford and they are always determined to match them whenever they can. With the latest 95bhp 1.3 Corsa diesel engine, it has done just that. The Vauxhall Corsa range now has a model that can achieve an average economy of 76.3mpg while only producing 98g/km of Co2.

6. Ford Fiesta Econetic - 98g/km and 76.3mpg

The Ford Fiesta Econetic 1.6 litre TDCi engine has to be one of the most entertaining yet economic cars you can buy. Its punchy 1.6-litre TDCi engine averages 76.3mpg and produces only 98g/km of Co2 the same as the Vauxhall Corsa 1.3CDTi 95.

7. Renault Clio - 98g/km and 76.3mpg

The Renault Clio is unlike its rivals as it forms part of the regular Clio line-up, rather than being pushed as a special eco edition. This benefits the customer as the price is not increased as in some cases, the Renault Clio can achieve 76.3mpg while only producing 98g/km of Co2.

8. Volkswagen Golf 99g/km and 74.3

Our 10th car the Volkswagen Golf Bluemotion manages 74.3 mpg has to be one of the most popular choices of the ever growing list of cars which achieve sub 100g/km of Co2. Firm proof that modern cars just keep on getting greener!

9. Toyota Auris Hybrid - 89g/km and 74.3mpg

The Auris is a very significant car for Toyota in the UK. It proves that the conventional family hatchbacks can be turned into high-eco hybrids. With the Toyota built in the UK it also helps reduce the delivery CO2 emissions.

10. Toyota Prius T3 - 89g/km and 72.4mpg

The Toyota Prius petrol-electric hybrid has been on sale for ten years now with hardly any competition, but it has now had to improve its Economy to 72.4mpg to keep up with the modern Diesel Engines.

Most new cars have managed to make reductions in Co2 while improving the mpg but there are some motors that really stand out. The cars above are now returning fuel figures that even a few years ago would have been unthinkable.
