An interesting article about Oil Production

Someone answer me this. If my friends in the UK can drive small Toyota’s with diesel engines and get 50 or more miles per gallon why can't we get them here? Two road blocks... the oil industry and the auto makers. Nothing will change until we take existing industry and apply it to our cars and trucks. Ford plans on putting the Land Rover diesel engine in the F-150 for '09 with estimated gas mileage of over 30 mpg. No significant R&D, existing industry and putting it in use here. Until we force the hand of these two players nothing is going to change in the US.
