This is a question First World Problems

Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

In which case
You're probably paying less than the average yank.

And there is little they can do about it, what with the stigma surrounding diesels in the us.

Possibly,
but the point was, I'm paying as little as I ever will.

The Americans have a long way to go. They're still buying 3.2 litre V6's as 'economy' cars.

[edit]

10 years ago, Top Gear were scoffing merrily at the idea of them ever going anywhere near a diesel car. Most of us were too.

This is utterly irrelevant though,
If Americans drive cars that use more fuel and that ups their MPG, that's their problem and the can change it. They still pay less per gallon of fuel, and that's the important measure because it's the one the driver has no control over.

Yeah, but it's a smaller gallon!
Seriously, the Seppoes have this weird idea that 16 fluid ounces = 1 pint. So eight US pints = .8 UK gallons.

So they pay $6.25 for REAL gallons, as used by MEN. Then they burn it at 25 mpg.

Let's laugh and point at the colonials, kids!
