You would be in diesel territory for that mileage, but I did a very similar commute in a petrol car and it worked out about the same as having had diesel, with the extra few pence on the diesel price. But then I like how petrol cars handle and I found a good car that I could afford, which is important.
If you're set on a Fiesta, I can say that they really aren't bad on the motorway; pretty comfortable and it's only the big hills where you'd want some extra power. On a commute, the car has to be comfy (and for me it has to have a good stereo). So a decent alternative would be the Mazda 2. The Toyota Yaris is also good.

You might find that and the review helpful.
