Remember diesel is more expensive, plus modern dervs suffer from a lot of expensive problems!

Very true. The wife stopped using her fiesta st as it was quite expensive to run and started using my mondeo sttdci as it was sitting in the drive all day,she just does short runs too and it works out exactly the same mpg! To add to all of the above,short journeys about the doors are no good for a diesel,you'll need to take it out occasionally and give it a good kicking to clean iit out a bit.
