I'm not sure that's a good argument when the BMW X5 and X6 are not the most fuel efficient vehicles. If you want to save on fuel and have the cargo capacity, the BMW 5 estate is the way to go, IMO. But, most Americans cringe when the hear the words "Wagon, Estate, or Avant" - too bad.
Also, diesel fuel in america used to be cheaper than regular unleaded but now it's more expensive than premium unleaded (at least where I live)! So, you might be getting better fuel economy with a diesel vehicle, but you're paying more for it at the pump (when compared to premium unleaded).
