Motor manufacturers are catering to this market.
A pity, but on the other hand I'll look at getting a Citroen when I replace Noddy (whenever that is). I have been reading the amazing results some have been getting with the AX 1.5 D. I would like to get (eventually) a C4 Coupe HDI 1.6 which has an advertised Cd of 0.28 and 4.5l/100km, which should be easy to exceed.
I've always liked French cars - particularly Citroens. (Though my first was a Peugeot 205.)

Indeed. I have enough examples of crazy driving here to. Like pulling behind me on full trottle on the off ramp to get in front of me and then full on the brakes not to crash. I had the prerunner of the c4 coupe. The xsara coupe 2.0 hdi 90hp. I got a simple 5L/100km. With only grillblock and high tire psi. To bad i totalled it in winter. But i think 4L/100km would be possible
