The high mileage diesels aren't selling here because California won't let them sell here. Car manufacturers tried the whole Federal model and Ca model once upon a time. It was confusing and lost them money.

California basically dislikes diesels because they are icky. Same reason they ban guns that look scary. There is no intelligent reason why they would do either. Ufortunatly for the rest of the country, Ca.'s stupid decisionmaking means you can't buy a high mileage diesel either.

Yet another lesson in environmentalism gone stupid.

Stay tuned, the next lesson will be out soon - probably too soon.
