Generally speaking petrol versions of the Peugeot 308 will be cheaper to buy than diesel versions, but the diesel will likely offer better fuel economy. If you cover a lot of miles the increased fuel economy will save you money in the long run, otherwise we would suggest the petrol as this will avoid any potential issues with the diesel particulate filter.
