hello all

Could you guys help regaurding the following.(i am planning a second car.
We've just got a swift but my bro is hijacking it)

i am considering the getz1.1 GVS for now and thinking about whether it makes sense to wait for a Palio1.3MJD
(ive heard too many horror stories about the 1.3GETZ milege so im a little hesitant)

I know the above comparison doesnt make sense because one is a diesel and the other a petrol.But i need a car within 5.5Lacks(im hoping the palio1.3MJD is that much ) I will not consider the swift or the uva for certain reasons.
Though i drive only in Bombay city i would like a car that at least has decent "highway manners" (so there goes the i10 )

My running is quite less , i drive probably only 3 times a week ,max 50kms or less total per week, though; being a typical indian i like to look at FE

Now A couple of mechanics i have asked say the same old line
"bhai, running kam hai tho petrol lena chahiye"
when i ask why they give me the ol
"maintence costs petrol mein kam hai, aur diesel engine kaam jyaada nikalta hain "
basically for less driving use only petrol

my question is that : is all of the above true?
should i only look at a petrol car if i drive only occasionally?
Why is it so exactly?
( P.S: i am not concerned about the extra initial cost of the car so dont consider that in any calculations)

Please help me with the pros and cons about petrol and diesel apart from the obvious savings in price of fuel and initial cost of car

Please help me decide whether GETZ 1.1 makes more sense for me or should i wait and see if the palio 1.3 MJD really arrives in March and i should consider it. Frankly i need to know is it worth waiting for a diesl car or it doesnt make sense for me to wait for the palio1.3MJD. ( Again please note: dont bring the initail cost of the car in the petrol diesl calculations, However if you would expect the diesel Palio to give me problems due to higher maintence costs or if diesel is not suitable for me

do Tell
