U.S. Diesel Sales Double in 2010

As a diesel owner, i am not surprised to see the relative increase but it continues to mystify me as to why everyone hasn't figured this out.

If you're like me, you ask people: "Why dont you own a diesel" and the answer is always the same. "I dont to spend more to buy a noisy, smoky, smelly slow dirty car that I cant find gas for" This is a myth perpetuated by dealers and salesman of every brand which doesn't have diesels. "No ma'am, we do not sell those dirty, slow, stinky things. You'll likely run out of gas anyway because most stations don't carry diesel. But, step this way and I'll show you to a green Prius."

It's just a matter of time before diesel refineries in the U.S. catch up and produce enough inventory to bring it to more competitive prices.

Except that there is less diesel in crude oil than traditional gasoline. So isn't about catching up it is about product's that consumers want.

I envy the Americans in this matter...In my country Diesel cars are not alowed,only trucks and 4WD light trucks and alikes.

Which Country is that ?
