Bought a new car...
Currently diesel costs £1.38 and petrol is £1.30.
That translates to $2.17 , $2.05
The mpg is rated at 68 miles per gallon.
Forgive me if I offend, but certainly my image of the states is (when it comes to vehicles) that most people drive around in big 3 or 4 litre trucks?? I mean, this is an image painted by television so I'm probably wrong?

that's per liter, not gallon....
so compared to us - which we're at $3.40 (gas) and $3.75 (diesel) per GAL
where ever those prices are from you need to multiply by 3.79 for gallon prices. so his prices compared to US are $8.22 and $7.77 a gallon...
i have a 2 liter hyundai and a 5.8 liter bronco.... both gas (although the bronco will get a 6bt if i ever get a chance!). there are many small cars and many big motor'd cars/trucks in the usa. obviously, there are more trucks in the south which i would assume that stereotype is from

More big trucks down south is false, there are big trucks/lifted trucks no matter what state u r in...
N ull see anything from cars breaking down on the road, no lights, etc... to lifted trucks, lowered cars, to high performance automobiles.
Hell im 23 and was driving a 4.2l Audi S8 for a lil bit, needless to say I was going broke... n sold it.
Anyways, nice whip man!!

I'd be also willing to be that the oil companies are doing their best to thwart further Diesel production due to its better fuel economy, which will cut into their profits.
