It's interesting that nobody has pointed out that diesel fuel in the
U.S. does not have a lot of availability. Most gas stations (at least
in California and Oregon) don't carry diesel. Maybe one in eight or ten
does.

Diesel has gotten a bad rap, especially on the west coast. The public's
perception is that the exhaust is dirtier than gasoline exhaust. Which
is why the tax on it is higher so that the price is pretty much the same
as regular gas even though the fuel itself is cheaper than gas.
