The great thing about Diesel is you don't HAVE to run it on petroleum. It provides the answer to the burning question: "What are YOU doing about energy independance?"
If you have the means you can make Diesel fuel yourself, BioDiesel that is. I run a VW TDI and a Jeep CRG on fuel I make at home, and it costs well under $2 a gallon to do so.
If DIY is not your thing, you can buy BioDiesel from a pump, or join/create a coop who brews their own. You can contribute cash, wrench work, chemicals, waste oil, whatever.
You could convert the car to run on waste or straight veggie oil. I would not suggest doing so with a NEW car, but the option is there.
Options, fuel options are a primary attraction of Diesel cars. You don't have that with gasoline (and please don't answer with ethanol, because that is not really a viable option.)
