LPG it would be my advice.
I bought a 2006 Lexus IS 220D and it only did 32mpg winter and max 36mpg summer. It was a dreadful engine and usual diesel related faults. DPF EGR etc as any other diesel
Owned for 19 months and 13k miles and started loosing coolant and pressurising. Head gasket going! Lexus had lots of issues with the diesel! Scrapped it.
You think your saving money but any of the above issues wipes out your saving you made by buying a diesel.
Keep it petrol.
Wednesday I bought a Toyota Auris Hybrid estate. Its brilliant. I got 63mpg out of it from my 28 mile trip to Birmingham and as its older no road tax!
I also have a 1996 Volvo 940 for work. It uses fuel, but thankfully most work is local.
