    €50 a week is really not enough to warrant changing your car imo. You need to work out the actual cost of changing, for example, there's no point in spending €5,000 to save €10 a week.

    Change. That's reason enough.

    Nothing wrong with newer Corollas at all.

    OP, I wouldn't bother changing, the amount you'll save will be minimal.

    to make it worth while changing you would need to sell your car and then buy a diesel for that amount. as said above no point in spending money to change to a diesel to save a small amount.. diesel will only really save you money if your driving a nice long motorway run or similar.. around town they dont get great mpg...

    i have a diesel and would never change back to petrol unless i was buying a performance car..

    They still get better urban MPG than a petrol..
