And by then the same people who are currently hysterical about diesel will have moved on to emotional attacks on petrol, or whistling, or words with more than four syllables.

My mileage is at the point where diesel is worth it, and I don't drive in towns much, but in four years (at a guess when I'll next change), I reckon the choice will have swung and there'll be some decent petrol options for me.
I did 52mpg London to Southampton without particularly trying and the car is rated at 53mpg.
Not that long ago 50mpg was considered good in a diesel
What you say is true but I wonder about the longevity of these small, high power petrol engines, especially ones that are fitted to large vehicles. VW fitted their Sharan with a 1.2 Super+Turbo engine, I think - personally I wouldn't want to buy one used. And while steady cruising might achieve good MPG, what happens under urban driving conditions when you have a tiny engine in a fat-ass car?

Bit of trading feedback here.
The 1.0L is quite a low revving lump gives better fuel economy that the diesel around town, and never feels like
it is struggling
There are at least 3 diesel ones, so I bought one of those.
