It's a fair point. I do also consider that if it's less awful for the environment, that's a good thing. But I framed it as a cost issue out of fear of seeming like a hypocrite/doing something a bit superficial by choosing a marginally less polluting vehicle and expecting it to make much of a difference.
In my defence I at least walk my kids the mile and back to school, cycle on any journeys I can, etc. But I am not masochistic enough to even consider transporting 2 small children + multiple bikes and bags by public transport whenever we go away.

Why is everyone only thinking of cost to themselves when considering diesels against alternatives? Is pollution fallacy? Sorry if have missed this argument. Also BMW under investigation regarding emissions figures manipulation.
