I think the question should be "do dieselheads dislike gasoline cars?" and I can definitely include myself in that group. I think part of this has to do with being different. I wonder how I'd feel about diesel cars if 98% of the American public drove diesel cars. I probably wouldn't like them as much. I guess that partly explains why I don't like gasoline cars, though it also has to do with their inefficiency and inability to run on alternative fuels without heavy modifications. I'm mostly into alternative fuels, and given how rare diesel cars are, I consider diesel an alternative fuel too. I'm also somewhat interested in vehicles powered by natural gas or electricity. To me, there's hardly anything as boring as a plain gasoline vehicle, especially a truck or SUV.
