Don't know much about diesels, but it sounds like this DPF thing getting clogged that they have nowadays - and presumably the computer shuts down to limp mode. And if it didn't doubtless it would eventually become completely clogged and limp mode would seem like a luxury!
As for this economy thing with diesels, I had a work company 1.7 one for a while, and kept records of mileage and fuel used (like I do with all my cars). The following company petrol job (with a slightly larger engine 1.8) was more economical!! It seemed to me that it was the fuel price difference at the time which was the advantage. But things have changed on the fuel price front since then. And now they have this DPF - wouldn't touch one.
