because of taxes...diesel makes more polution=========

Not true....new low-sulfur and new diesel engines are cleaner and more efficient than gasoline engines.

Factors are higher demand in Europe (more than half the new cars sold in Europe are diesel), distribution (shipping refined diesel from Europe costs more, not to mention the taxes charged by the EU on that refined diesel fuel), less refineries, higher cost of refining (investing in new equipment to produce low-sulfur diesel, although less refining is technically needed), and taxes. Its safe to say 4 out of the 5 are attributed to environmentalists/Liberals.

Diesel gas gives more mileage (miles per gallon) than regular gasoline. You must, of course, have a vehicle that has a diesel engine because diesel fuel cannot be used in an engine that runs on regular gas! Depending on local government taxation policies, in some countries diesel is cheaper to buy than regular gas whilst in other countries it is more expensive! Diesel fuel is thicker and "stickier" than regular gas so, if a vehicle's fuel system ever needs cleaning - fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pumps and fuel injectors - it is a more difficult and expensive job to do on a diesel vehicle.
