And to check myself…

Yup, outside of heavy-duty body-on-frame trucks and SUVs, they are gone now.

Although I swore the Mazda CX-5 had a diesel option…

But aren’t the best selling cars in the US exactly heavy-duty body-on-frame trucks and SUVs?

The most popular car in the US for the last 30 years is the F-150.

Yes…but even in that class, they sell a teeny, tiny percentage as diesels.

And though I cannot find a citation, I swear I have heard the best-selling F-150 engine is the turbocharged gasoline V6.
