i havent had a petrol in a while and the petrol seems more fun to drive, atm i have diesel 1.4 and that is pretty nippy.
I didn't expect the diesel to be as nippy as it was, but i do like the petrol but also thinking of fuel costs etc... i live about 15-20 min journey to the town nearest me.

I looked at a diesel zs and in the end bought a petrol, the extra costs of the diesel and lack of tuning options did it for me. Currently getting 41mpg on my daily drive to work compared to 26 when I had the ST so I'm a happy bunny LOL

Diesel as its been said diesel is more but how much more? £5 per tank you'll save that with the tax and your filling up less due the the brilliant economy I had a petrol ZS (mk6) and it went through the petrol. It's far better as a diesel I'm currently getting 48.9mpg and that's because I'm putting my foot down because I'm late for work lol

Petrol for power
diesel for economy!

I'm looking at getting the zetec s, but not sure about the petrol or diesel. i now drive 15 miles each way to work on urban roads (max 40mph roads). i prefer the petrol for the acceleration as i have have the fiesta st in the past, but i need to know if i'm likely to get enough of a saving with a diesel version. £20 compared to £120 tax and 67mpg to 49 mpg.
