I don't know. 50% increase in price is a hard pill to swallow tho. Also, with the few diesels we have on the road and even fewer that use it, I am not sure it will make the difference. In any case, gasoline cars are more of an issue since they are way larger in percentage. In europe, almost half of their cars are diesel. Over here, I don't know what the percentage is but I am fairly certain it is less than 10% excluding trucks.
