I suspect in the USA we are finally following the world's automotive trend of past decades. Smaller cars and more diesel vehicles being manufactured and driven.

This sucks. Diesel is about 10 cents higher then regular around here. 🙂 If every soccer mom in the US gets a diesel it will drive #2 up, up, up and out of sight. :M
Supply and demand has little to do with the price of gas or diesel in the USA. Fully a 30% of the cost goes to the same Wall Street speculators that tanked the US economy. Another 15% goes to fuel taxes.
The automakers are moving to diesel to improve their fleet average MPG to meet Federal CAFE requirements while still selling larger and heavier and more profitable trucks and cars. Overall I see it as very positive as it could mean more gas stations selling diesel. In the western USA about 20% of the stations have diesel and many at higher than premium prices as there is no competition in their area.
The real cost of motor fuel is the $3 trillion wars we are fighting for the international oil companies so they can exploit the energy resources of Afghanistan and Iraq. And there will be the cost in future years of treating millions of vets with cancers caused by our military's use of radioactive ammunition.
