Hi Brad.  The U.S. is just about the opposite with regard to fuel type.  We have never been a diesel friendly market.  It is changing very slowly though.  Recent advancements in diesel engine technology from foreign sources should help.  We have adopted world Nox and particulate standards that should have positive influence on the diesel market here.  BMW currently has a marketing campaign aimed at changing the American perspective.  No push to buy one of their cars, just promote diesel fuel.  The general public remains largely uniformed of the high volumetric efficiency of diesels yet keenly aware of their distinct sound and link to cancer.  I sure would like to get my hands on a diesel HiLux/Tacoma.  Basically the only light duty diesels we have are in our full size light duty trucks or vans (Ford, Dodge, or GM).  No diesel imports available for us yet that I know of.  Possibly Honda, Nissan, Toyota or Mercedes Bluetec in the next model year or two.  However, Jeep I think now offers a diesel in one of their new mini SUV's.  I'm not sure maybe you would call it a UTE without a tray or bed.  By the way can you get a diesel in the Ford F series in Australia? Anyway, good to hear from you.
