I can understand if you choose a diesel when buying a family car where you plan to cross europed back and forth, but with an image thing ... give or take a few liters per 100km or a few hundreds EUR per year ... thats not really anything you should take care about.

Glad you mentioned that - cheers! I worked out roughly how many miles I'll do per year and then worked out what each car I'm looking at would cost in fuel per year. The difference is basically fuck all between most cars, BUT the difference with the 350 IS quite a lot - it's basically double most of the other cars. If I only do 1,000 miles a year, it's something like £300 compared to £150 for most other cars, so about £150 difference, which isn't exactly going to break the bank. But then if I up my mileage to 3,000 a year, it's about £500 more per year than most other cars. That's still not going to bankrupt me but, year on year, it does start to add up a bit. You make a good point in general though - the difference in fuel cost per year between a Z4 and an A3, for example, is fuck all!
