Holden Captiva: Petrol vs diesel

I AM considering a Holden Captiva, which is available in petrol or diesel. In terms of environmental impact, economy and performance, which is better?

MODERN diesels perform on a par with petrol engines now so you won't lose performance. When looking at economy, it's important to consider the higher purchase price of the diesel model and the higher fuel price.
