Consumers search for fuel-efficient vehicles as petrol prices skyrocket
(22 May 2006)

With the national average cost of a litre of unleaded likely to breach the 95p a litre mark, according to Petrolprices.com, consumer searches for fuel-efficient cars have increased dramatically according to the latest figures from Desperate Seller.co.uk

The Toyota Prius, recognised as the UK’s greenest family car, has featured in the Top 10 number of vehicle searches on Desperate Seller for the past three consecutive months. The five door Prius uses battery power to back up a 1.5-litre petrol engine and emits just 104g/km of CO2, the lowest of any car on sale.

Other vehicles showing significant increases in the number of searches include, the Toyota Aygo, this three-or five-door city car posts the UK's second-lowest CO2 emissions of just 109g/km not far behind theultra-clean Toyota Prius. Also showing significant increases are the Peugeot 407 1.6HDI S 110, one of the most high specced green cars on the market, which not only breaks 50mpg but has respectable CO2 emissions of 145g/km and Honda Civic 1.3 IMA Executive, a vehicle that tops the Environmental Transport Association’s green rankings.

With drivers being able to save hundreds of pounds a year in fuel bills by choosing a greener car, Desperate Seller.co.uk have a wide selection of fuel-efficient vehicles for consumers to choose from.
