Why the concern over diesel, poor old petrol users have been paying for years,do you think you are ''the special ones''?

Yes. I've often been described as 'special'...

and also when they bought their engine they didnt spend an extra £20k for the diesel option engine as the fuel is cheaper.

"Poor old petrol users" had the choice for years. I bought a diesel-engined boat two years ago when diesel was a mere 55p a litre. Now we are looking at THREE times that!! And like we make that much impression on "the environment" If cars equate to less than 1%, boats must equate to no more than 0.001%. Are we saving the planet or paying for the Olympics???
