Fuel prices are artificially inflated by taxes anyway.
The US is not the only country where diesel is more expensive.
The UK is another example, so are Switzerland, Albania, Cypruss, Georgia. There are a bunch of countries where the prices are very similar.
I expect diesel will become a lot more expensive in the entire EU, as the diesel particulate matter issue has given diesel opponents a new reason to increase diesel taxes.
Diesels generally use less fuel than gasoline engines, so one can still win despite a somewhat higher price.
