Can you recommend a small car with good fuel economy?

I am looking for a used small car that will be very cheap to run, with high mpg and a reliable (diesel preferable) engine. I do about 13,000 miles per year, 90% of the time on motorways and outside cities. What would you recommend? My budget is £6500.
