I don't know why diesels aren't sold much in the US. But the aren't. Maybe they would compare favorably to hybrids (I doubt it). Also diesel has 10% more energy approx per gallon than gasoline. Thus a barrel of oil can make fewer diesel gallons than gasoline ones. So it is a little bit of a misleading comparison.
Also the Prius is tuned to be a SULEV or super ultra low emission vehicle. Something like that. It puts out a lot less pollution than a diesel. They could probably tune it differently and get even better miles per gallon.
But 45-50 mpg is pretty good.

Who's question were you answering ? Your responses, based on the previous threads I have just viewed appear to be a non-sequiter.
