Most economical car ever owned

Bought this 20 year old car cheaply with around 99,000 miles on the clock.
Fuel economy is remarkable with one tank (unleaded) providing over 550 miles. Around 300 motorway and remainder shuttling around during a week on holiday. Driving experience pretty good, though top speed isn’t much more than about 80. I keep the oil topped up with cheap 20/50 - seems to go on for ever...
