If you plan on buying a new car a diesel motor will out live the car itself. If you live in Canada or England your motives are far reaching and important. As you know diesel motors are much more efficient than a gasoline or petrol engine. Growing up we had several diesel farm tractors. When turbo chargers became refined and popular the diesel motors had more power and actually used less fuel during lite use such as raking hay cultivating, baling hay, planting corn, oats, wheat and mowing hay. As you see I'm an advocate of diesel motors. They are being more refined and economical each day. Good luck whatever your choice!

Its your call, but if you live in cold, snowey climates, and choose a diesel engine, there is more up keep and maintainance of the engine and the keeping of the diesel fuel from turning into that waxy jello like substances

Petrol is better in that it pollutes much less than diesel does. Diesel is more dense so you do get better MPG out of it, but it's a much "dirtier" fuel and contributes just as much, if not more, to greenhouse gasses and other pollutants like particulate matter and NOx.
