Why not ?
In Europe, it's been on small diesel Citroens and the 3L VW Lupo and Audi A2 since about the time the 1st generation Insight popped up.
10 years on, it's more common on diesels than it is on gas engined cars in the EU market.

Do the EPA rating for diesels take into account the higher BTU's per gallon of diesel?

Dunno, but on this side of the pond the trend is towards using grams of CO2 per km (which accounts for the energy density) rather than using L/100km or mpg (which does not).
