I have been looking at cars today with a view to replacing my

Not only that but the estate car we are looking for is like
rocking horse doodoo even in the diesel version.

So all in all not the most productive of shopping trips.


We just bought a hybrid. Petrol. After 1000 miles it's returning 57mpg,
a bit better than our dizzle C4 and a lot better than most petrol cars,
near as I can tell.


But how much extra did the hybrid version cost and will you recover that
in the fuel savings?
