Default RE: LR3 , different ??? Q

Only few manufacturers sell diesel versions here due to
a) high sulfur fuel (good luckwithyour TDi here, check out VW Touareg TDi stories)
b) higher emission restrictionsand inability by diesel cars to meet those - see a)
c) not that many people reallyabout mileage, esp. considering diesel is pricier than 93 octane in most of the states.
