Question for petrol heads - what's a good MPG?

[Jog On]

Mrs Jog and myself are looking to purchase a new vehicle.

Our budget is around £1k and we like Hondas but something decent for that price bracket will do.

I'm looking at typical MPG figures for different cars and can't really tell what's good and what isn't.

What's a good MPG for a 1.8-2 Litre engine?

Don't think there are many new cars for a grand?

typo - i think he meant 12.5k

This one is very economical - will cost under a grand and will fit nicely when parked next to your bike.

Depends whether it's diesel or petrol really but for a petrol engine I would consider 40+ good

With the thread title having MPG in it there is no need for such specification.
