   Nope, no trucker or driver of a diesel car does that.

   Nope, it was originally due to the mileage cost being   
   lower because of the higher energy content of diesel   
   which isnt necessarily true anymore when the cost   
   of diesel is higher than gasoline in many jurisdictions.

   Nope, plenty are still happy with their diesel cars.   
      
   But some jurisdictions restrict where they can be driven   
   due to the higher pollution that diesel cars produce.
