Personally I prefer a diesel. The extra mpg is just a bonus to me, I just like the way they provide the power with more torque over bhp. Probably something to do with me having been a commercial driver all my life driving diesel trucks and vans for 10-12hrs a day.
I don’t worry about ordering a diesel and legislation changing, it’s a 3 year lease and nothing dramatic is going to change over 3 years plus we’re getting the latest and cleanest engines available.
We only do about 6-7k a year but my commute is 10ml each way on a motorway so no DPF issues to worry about.
If I seem a little strange, that's because I am.
