You should consider an early D3 3.0TDI, I bought one with 60K miles on it in 2010 and changed it at 260K last year for a D4. In that time, it did a consistent 40mpg and other than 1 wheel bearing and 2 parking break motors, just routine servicing.
With a commute like that, an Avensis or such is just an awful place to spend 2+ hrs per day in my opinion.
