Well, diesel fuel is more expensive than normal gas here, supposedly to discourage trucks from crossing the country, and to cut down on particle pollution. Even all the MB taxis seem to be non-diesel. I certainly have an image of them as being noisy. I suspect the sales guy would prefer to sell the slightly more expensive car.
