been looking into the pros n cons of each fuel

Ah well that answers that

Petrol
Pros:
Faster than a derv as standard even in the 1.8 (smallest xu) form
Very lively engines

Cons:
Running costs. Unless your careful, 25-35mpg is the average
modifications can be expensive and may need a ecu remap depending on the mod

Derv
Pros:
Very cheap to run even when spanking it
D turbos are generally easy to repair. No electrics to go wrong
Easy and cheaper than perv to tune

Cons:
Noisy and unrefined
If using veg, can be a bastard to start in colder weather
