I really like the new Civic and interested in a Type-S 2.2GT. Now, the thing is, fuel prices these days. At the moment i'm driving a 1.6 Fiesta Zetec-S and putting around £40 nearly every 2 weeks and getting no more than about 340 miles to a tank.
If i go to the 2.2 diesel engine would it be better than this or not? Im not a very heavy-footed driver, only in some places when i need to pull out or ovetake, otherwise i'm a calm 'normal' driver.

Sorry if this is a 'stupid' question but i'm not very 'clued-up' about cars etc.

Thankyou
Really need to be more specific-how many miles in your 2 weeks and size(no of gallons ) of your car's tank.

My Type S 2.2 gives me 41-44 mostly around town and 48+ longer journeys
