My better half stole the Kia from me last week to commute to her new job, leaving me high and dry as my GranSport is in the garage for a couple of weeks for a major service, lowering, and detailing. Getting the train to Newbury from Portishead took me 4 hours each way last week ... uugh ... so today I went to Bath to add another Korean chariot to the fleet: this time a Kia Rio EcoDynamics.
It's not very sexy (did I even need to write that?) but ... road tax for the year is zero, it's congestion charge immune, and there is a claimed 88 mpg on the combined cycle.
If I alternate between this scummy oil-burner and the Maser every day for work, then I reckon I can get 55 mpg for my weekly petrol spend. Woohoo!
