I was under the impression that diesel couldn't match petrol emissions even with the latest anti-pollution gadgets - that's what the whole VW engine scandal was about. Add to that the lower reliability of modern diesel car engines and petrol seems like a no-brainer?
Maybe you need to look at a different class of car.

My previous E-class Benz was an oil burner, pulled like a train and never had a single mechanical issue or puff of black smoke from it in 6 years I owned it. My current oil burner is a Range Rover, only had it a year, but unsurprisingly has not missed a beat.....and comes in well under the latest Euro emissions standards.
