Considering petrol in the UK is about 1.35 a litre (diesel a few pence more), comes to an eye watering 6.07 a gallon ($9.72), you can see why diesel is so popular, when it can theatrically return 60mpg and lower annual road tax.

It depends on markets. For some EU countries diesel is much more expensive than petrol, & also taxes are different. For UK the tax structure is biased towards diesel so it makes more sense buying diesel. |
Still need to factor in the price of the car though. 320d is more expensive to buy from the outset, so if you,re only doing a low mileage them probably makes sense to stick with petrol.
For higher mileages or company car drivers, agree its probably a no brainer to go diesel
