Should I change my Fiesta for a new petrol model?
I have an average mileage of 15,000km a year. I own a 2011 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.6 diesel. I want to upgrade to a new Fiesta Titanium. Should I change to a petrol model based on my low mileage?

Hi Aoife,
I'd say you're just on the cusp of needing the diesel. It's probably down to what kind of mileage you do. If most of that 15,000km is driven on motorways or main roads then you could be just as well sticking with diesel. If you're mostly in town and suburbs, then it could be worth having a look at petrol.
