Hope I'm proven wrong but that's my concern.
The thing about diesels is not really true. Nothing produced after 2005 will produce black smoke.

CO2 output of diesel is about 10% higher than petrol per litre burned, but diesels use a fair bit less than even the most efficient petrol engines so it is line ball on CO2.

Nitrogen oxides would probably be the place to criticise diesels, but very efficient modern petrol engines are not far behind either.
