You're making it sound like the MPG thing between petrol and diesel are poles apart - they're not.
Even if you acheive 55mpg in a diesel (which is tough) that's approx. 12p per mile
If you acheive 41mpg or more in a petrol it's just 15p per mile - only 25% more to run over the course of the year, albeit without the higher servicing cost or risk of any expensive components failing (turbo, clutch etc.)
What is your master plan? What do you plan to do with £7,000? Buy a car which will be worth considerably less in 2 years time?

Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.
