Interesting figures.
However my diesel was only £600 more than the equivalent petrol model. Resale value on the diesel after one year is £1,600 more.
Service intervals on the diesel are longer than the petrol. The services are cheaper (I checked with the service manager beforehand).
Road tax is £20 on the diesel per year, £120 on the petrol per year.
The insurance was £150 per year cheaper for the diesel.
Diesel is dearer than petrol by about 4% per gallon over here. Your difference seems higher. According to Audis own figures the diesel is 41% more fuel efficient than the equivalent petrol on the combined cycle.
I think over here at least the figures work out pretty favourable for the diesel.
