The point I was making is there is nothing in it filling the tank, not a gripe over £2! Well £4

depending on the real mpg figures you could be getting £10 worth more of miles out of the diesel.
The same amount of diesel will get me further, but the petrol and diesel equivalent have about a £2k purchase difference. Now take into account the servicing costs, again the diesel costs more but how much more I don't know.
I must admit though, after driving the diesel, I really think the petrol will feel quite flat.
I'm going to get Zoe to hold out for a diesel at the mo, but she does have the right spec petrol with leather.
