Peugeots Fuel Efficient Range Beats the Budget Blues

With the budget blues fresh in everyones minds, will there by any slack for motorists ever? How to beat the motoring budget blues...

 

Manchester, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/01/2011 -- With fuel duty at the pumps cut, but an increase in tax on oil production alongside a new fair fuel stabiliser, increased rates of Vehicle Excise Duty and planned increases on company car tax a fuel efficient car proves to be the only answer to the budget blues.

John Hogan of http://www.motoring.co.uk said: “With Budget Blues hitting seemingly every part of our family finances this week, it seems the only way to balance the cost of motoring is to buy a car that is fuel efficient.”

“Like many manufacturers Peugeot have a range of fuel efficient cars and the Peugeot 107 city car is capable of 62 mpg with the petrol engine and a staggering 74 mpg is claimed with the diesel engine.”

Hogan continued “If you’re thinking about buying a more fuel efficient car you should get an independent free car valuation for two reasons.”

“Firstly you find out, from a source that is independent and therefore not interested in the sale of your car or the purchase of a new one, what your car is worth.”

“Secondly you will be able to take your valuation and use it to your advantage when negotiating either a trade-in value or sale price with a dealership or private buyer.”

Due out this spring is the new Peugeot 308 micro-hybrid e-HDi Stop & Start system, combined with Peugeots 1.6 litre HDi FAP 112 diesel engine it reduces emissions to just 98g/km resulting in zero rated VED. If a bigger vehicle is needed the Peugeot 5008 Compact MPV seven seater combines fuel economy of 55mpg and 135g/km of Co2 from the 110 FAP EGC drivetrain in its Active model.

The Peugeot 107 emits just 103 g/km co2 and is capable of 62mpg. To escape Vehicle Excise Duty the popular Peugeot 207 Economique has Co2 emissions of just 99g/km while the 1.6 Hdi 90 FAP diesel engine returns 74mpg on the combined drive cycle.
