Petrol every time. I'm absolutely sick of arriving at meetings stinking of Satan's urine. No matter how careful there's always a pool of diesel on the floor waiting to soak into the leather soles of shoes, get trodden into carpets yadda yadda. Diesel belongs in tractors.

You'd still get Diesel on the soles of your shoes when filling a Petrol anyway as the nozzles are right next to each other! 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

If you can afford to buy and fuel either, drive both then decide. Lucky you. If economics are a concern the L405 SC will be more expensive on fuel and insurance. 2019 D5 HSE Lux SDV6 Indus

If economics didn't matter (i.e. the company pays for the fuel or by magic/luck I'd become very rich) I'd go for the SC, otherwise the SDV8 would probably make a bit more sense. If range is an issue (when I'd use it for my overland trip) then the SDV8 again MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Angel is actually right, diesel exhaust and fuel stink to the high heavens. Petrol is not half as bad. So the Dutchie agrees with the German, how odd MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
