May I ask if you've spent much time in the US lately? Because around here, diesel is readily available at most filling stations.
The US bias against diesel comes, I think, from the wide perception that they're dirty, noisy, and stink. Which is not entirely false: most of the diesel vehicles sold (automotive class, not 18-wheeler trucks) are pickup trucks. Their engines ARE dirty, noisy, and stink. Now maybe the fact that they do is just a marketing ploy, intended to appeal to the wannabe-truckers out there, but it's still a fact.
