Ritz Diesel or Petrol ??

Hi

I am 6 feet tall guy and requires a good leg room car. After reviewing many cars I have shortlisted RITZ...My monthly usage is 1000 kms ..

Which version shud I go ? Petrol or diesel ? I am calculating like this (Petrol seems to be winner)

Usage = 1000 kms
Ritz Petrol avg =13
Petrol reqd in one month = 77 litres (approx)
so expenditure = 77*51 = 3927/- ..lets say 4000/-

Ritz Diesel avg =16
Diesel reqd in one month = 62.5 litres (approx)
so expenditure = 62.5*40= 2500/-
So savings = 4000-2500 = 1500/ per month

so in 1 yr I wud be saving 18k
and in 5 yrs it will be 90k ....so diesel car wud prove useful if kept for more than 5 yrs

But if I buy diesel car today, I am giving 90k as of now while in Petrol I am saving 90k

Lets put 90k @ 8% FD ..so sum returned in 5 yrs = 133735/-

So doesnt that prove Petrol car is more gud ?

Plz advice

TIA

Please mention where those 1000 kms will be driven. Urban, Extra urban, etc. 1000 km/month points to a petrol. Also take into consideration that the diesel subsidy MAY soon be withdrawn.
