1. AdBlue & DPF
Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) can clog if you only do short city trips, leading to €1,000+ repairs.
2. Maintenance
Diesel engines are more complex and often require more expensive oil and component changes.
3. Road Tax (IVTM)
Many Spanish municipalities apply higher tax coefficients to diesel engines compared to petrol.
4. Depreciation
Public policy in the EU is shifting away from diesel, which may hurt the future resale value of your car.

Under 10,000 km/year: Buy Gasolina. The fuel savings don't justify the diesel premium.
Over 20,000 km/year: Diesel still offers substantial annual savings and better motorway range.
City Driving: Consider a Hybrid. It avoids DPF issues and offers zero-emission urban travel.
