Rating: 2 Not being an American, I'd guess a lot depends on the
cost to the end user. If the cost of diesel is comparable to
petrol, then what is fashionable and doing the same as everyone
else carries a lot of sway; but when the cost of petrol is much
more than the price of diesel, then things like being slightly
unfashionable and having to queue with the trucks at the petrol
station are easily justified by saying you want to spend the
money saved on treats for the kids.  RE: So - By bobsmith1492 on

costs a fair amount more than gas (petrol), some 20% more, so
there's not a huge advantage for the diesel here.
