Petrol or Diesel small van

[powerstroke]

Running a fiesta van as my second vehicle does about 15K per year was thinking about a transit courier
Do I go petrol Ecoboost or diesel and risk the anti diesel sentiment but better mpg ,
Wonders if the petrol would have a better residual value in 3 years ???
Thanks ...

Thanks , yes Its for a service engineer , hand tools and some spare parts , refig gas etc say about 300 kg
we always had petrol vans when I was an aprentice back in the 80's I would say most smaller vans and pick ups were petrol
I quite like the idea of a ecoboost 100 hp, but less torque than the 1.5 diesel so I guess revs not lugging it down would be how you
would need to drive it so it might be a bit thirsty ??
but If the anti diesel parking , city bans tolls etc comes to pass then at least we have an option
and if petrol is the thing to have then a tidy 3 year old petrol van might be nice at resale time ...
