I drove a VW diesel for 5 years, Compared to a Ford Petrol of roughly the same capacity, it worked out on Fuel that we were saving roughly £40 per week, the only thing that worked out worse was that like all deisels it was expensive in front tyres with the heavier engine.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

That was probably the old 1.9L diesel which had good low end torque but v. average diesel economy. The much newer 2.0 Litre is supposed to be a big improvement in refinement, economy, and performance - but I have never driven it.
