I get 50mpg plus on a steady run and late 30’s around town. Suits me fine. Also people forget the road tax is little cheaper for a diesel compared to an equivalent petrol.
Anyway, I didn’t buy it solely for economy, as said above I prefer the way a diesel drives. A quarter to half throttle and I’m fooked off down the road and no need to revs the tits off it to get the same effect.
My days of revving the hell out of an engine to get performance are gone these days – I find it quite tedious to be honest.
Nowt wrong with either engine though and each to their own.
