No it's not. All those tech advances that have worked on diesels over the past decade are getting to the point where they're now robust enough to cope with petrol temperatures, hence all the small direct-injection VNT turbo petrols now starting to arrive.
Diesel motors are going to go up in price and down on mpg on the low end when they make them comply to the same emissions as the petrols in a little while too.
Compression-ignition petrols aren't far away from production, neither are cylinder discharge plugs, so when that happens you'll have the mpg of a diesel with the torque, power and rev-range of a petrol.

just seen an article on bbc, saying nearly 90% of new cars made will be diesel in the next 10 - 15 years, so it looks like there might not be an option but to get a diesel

    I hope that isn't the case. There is already a production deficit of diesel.

    Car manufacturers are making small petrol turbos all the time, there is still a market for it. BBC jumping to conclusions again.

    And I having even bothered testing it now it's high boost.

    I'd also say it has the same useable amount of revs, well the power is there from 1500k-over 4k, what the powerband in a standard 6? 4500-7500 or something?

    Is it true that the hdi block is very similar to the Ford's block, it was a joint venture/design by ford and Peugeot group?
    I was told this by a ford employee who knows his stuff.
    The thing is though Ford's engine exceeds the hdi by a million times in every aspect aspect to the point where I can't really believe there linked.

    He's right, it was was a ford PSA job. DLD or DPD? I can't remember, but I think one of those is a French parcel company Razz

    Petrol hot hatches are getting up to 50mpg now.

    Noise, smoke & more dangerous fumes for lungs & a less rewarding drive in a diesel.

    Drove a Mondeo St diesel & it was pants compared to the six in terms of fun

    They are pants standard and torque restricted until 3rd gear, however put some good tyres on, a remap or superchips bluefin map and a intercooler and they fly.
