You arent going to beat that in a Petrol....

Example

I went from Yeovil to Fareham in a Diesel Vauxhall Zafira hire car. I had to fill it up before I dropped it off. Cost ?20.50 in Diesel, I'd done the same journey in a Renault Megan Scenic hire car ( 1.6 Petrol ) cost of Fuel to fill it again ?34.50

Road conditions both the same, both driven by me the same way, exactly the same route driven same sort of levels of traffic as well. I was surprised by the difference. Both cars were brimmed with fuel before I left.
