Petrol v deisel in a small car

iF you were to buy a smallish eurobox as a new car (not necessarily new) what would you get the most mpg out of, petrol or deisel. I know something like the 1.4tdi in the Seats and Fiats etc is super economic but a sweet little 1.0 petrol can run on fumes almost. Also an estate would prob tip the balance in the aero dept. The reason I ask, is quite a few people on here seem to run these metro jobbies. i read somewhere that they are a suzuki swift (petrol) and seem to get v.good milage. Are they the eco car of choice? or are there just a lot about?
