True, but you never know when that whole 0.3/4 seconds might come in handy
I've never driven the petrol so couldn't comment, in fact the only petrol I've ever driven was a 1.2 Clio so it woulnd't really be a fair comparison. My car is due to go in for recall work on Friday so I might try and convince them to let me take the 1.8 for the couple of hours they have mine!
