How popular are diesel cars in the USA?
I always thought the Americans shyed away from diesel and even their big trucks ran on unleaded? With fuel prices ever increasing has diesel power caught on in the US? If so what cars are you driving over there?
Diesel in england is more expensive than Unleaded but then we are not really Europe! 
Bugger looks like i wont be able to get a diesel rental when i’m doing my west coast tour in april 
The big trucks most definitely run on Diesel, fyi.
Diesel cars are still rare in the US. VW, BMW, and Mercedes are the only manufacturers even selling diesel passenger cars in the US right now (I think the jeep Grand Cherokee has discontinued it’s diesel and Ford, Dodge, Chevy all sell diesel trucks, but that’s another story).
The VW TDIs are by far the most common diesel passenger cars in the US, but they are still few and far between. I absolutely love mine.
