Improve your fuel economy with Peugeot

Discover Peugeot's miserly fuel consumption

With wallet-busting fuel prices, reducing fuel consumption has never been so important. So isn’t it time you took a closer look at Peugeot?

Three 308s – and a 107 – were entered into the annual MPG Marathon…. and the results show an incredible 32% improvement over published combined mpg* figures.

The ALD Automotive TOTAL Excellium MPG Marathon 2008 took place in October. Travelling in ‘real-world’ conditions – from Bristol to Macclesfield and back again, 39 competitors each drove with economy in mind.

Over a total distance of 411.57 miles, the Peugeot 308 S HDi 90 – driven by Michelin employee John Stack – used just 4.96 gallons of diesel. This meant a fantastic 83.04mpg – 32% more than the published figures of 62.7mpg combined.

Meanwhile the 308 SE HDI 110, driven by motoring journalist Chris Russon, achieved 73mpg. Again, this was an improvement of 32% on the published figures of 55.3mpg combined.

Peugeot currently offers at least 33 models (from the 107, 206, 207 and 308 ranges) with CO₂ emissions of less than 120g/km.

So why not take a look at Peugeot’s Blue Lion standard which is awarded to cars with emissions of 130g/km or less.
