The vehicle is one of 20 Insignia models run by the firm and used by its sales managers for both personal and professional use.

After using his company Insignia to drive his family of four on a round trip of 3,200 miles from the UK to Naples in Italy, sales manager Dino Landico was able to achieve an average of 59mpg in his fully loaded Insignia.

‘Even with all our luggage, driving the Vauxhall Insignia meant I was able to take my family on holiday without spending a fortune,’ explained Landico. 

Martin Wroe, managing director of Toomey Leasing Group, added: ‘Lowering carbon emissions is a key priority for the company which is one of the reasons behind why we have chosen the Vauxhall Insignia, which has CO2 emissions of just 98g/km, for our company’s fleet.



‘As these cars are used by our employees outside of work as well, low fuel consumption is even more important, so it’s very encouraging that we have already received such positive feedback from those who have noticed a difference. Since our employees will be using these vehicles at home as well as at work we needed to choose a model that would be versatile enough for all kinds of situations.’
