Diesel is significantly cheaper here before you even factor in fuel consumption. Also if you're self employed you can claim VAT on diesel but not on petrol...
Nahguavkire-
Annoyingly everything points to diesel in Ireland. Factor in the reality that the only drives I'll be doing between now and when i move home, are the long motorway drives to holyhead for the trips home at xmas and again in early 2020.
Maybe a yeti with a tow hitch for a track car is the sensible option

Yeah, it's a hatch too, love them but not right now.
Thing is, we're moving to west coast of Ireland where cost of living is low, and space is plentiful, so I'll likely buy something fun for myself when we're home and settled next year.
I've narrowed my choice to 2 or 3 cars:
06 impreza wrx wagon - slightly older, not cheap to run, but plenty reliable if you don't chase power
05 forester xt - same as the above pretty much, but worse on fuel and with more space
13 skoda yeti 2.0tdi 4x4 - cheaper to run, cheaper to tax, nearly 10 years newer, but (and its a big one) it's a diesel
The impreza is my wife's least favourite annoyingly
