Here in Australia vehicles that Americans call SUVs are nearly all diesel, mainly for reasons of fuel economy. The profligate waste of petrol that Americans seem to have favoured for decades and decades is a bit bewildering to most Australians. Sorry if this causes offence but the way that America has churned through so much of the world's oil as if it was an infinite resource has always struck me as being incredibly selfish.
