Default Are diesel vehicle's really more expensive to service ?.

I keep hearing how people claim that new diesel vehicles are more expensive to service then their counterpart's (petrol) version's.

A work colleague was telling me just the other day the reason why he bought a petrol version of the Holden Captiva over the diesel after I questioned why he didn't get the diesel, his reply was that he had a family member that bought a diesel version and the service was very expensive, something like $600 odd, now I seriously doub't it was this price but I have heard people mention that diesel's are more expensive when it comes to servicing.

So all those that have diesel's do you find it more or the same to service them compared to petrol's ?.

I honestly can not fathom why diesel's would be more expensive apart from the fact that alot of the older diesel's needed oil/filter changes more often then a petrol but these day's diesel's can go out to the same service interval's ?.
