Chose diesel 'cos of low CO2, and higher mpg. I'll see how it goes (still on my first tank) over the next few weeks. Hope mpg goes up a bit as it's currently on 49, and I used to get 47 out of my 1.4 Jazz!
It will improve, I was in the low 40's even on long runs when I first picked it up, now on a 140 mile (120 miles on M'Way) round trip to work, Cruise set at 72 I can get 56mpg average on the computer, worked out computer is 2 or 3 mpg out, when measuring brim full to brim full.
