What about the Audi A2 1.2 TDI? It is able to do 78mpg.

I'd take a Clubman diesel; oh, wait, we can't get that here. How about a BMW 335d wagon? Nope; not that one here either. A C-class diesel would get really good mpg; oh, wait again. Nevermind.

335D Wagon? Haha! Now that is a beast of a car!
(This is really how different we are over the pond

Shame that you don't get the really fuel saving cars.
I guess importing from Europe would be "idiotic" concerning price?
