Petrol or diesel SUV?

I currently drive a Subaru Forester 2.0 petrol on an 07 plate. I am thinking of changing but would like a similar type of vehicle (SUV).

I usually travel about 7000 miles per annum without encountering too much city traffic, driving mainly on country roads or dual carriageways. Would I be better off with petrol or diesel engine?
