I ran into this problem a lot in Nebraska while traveling last Summer. I don't know if it's just laziness or if they have a reason for this, But I suspect it will gradually get fixed, as more diesel passenger vehicles with misfueling interlocks get on the road and complaints increase.

It seems odd that they do this, as using the correct nozzle would also prevent misfueling with diesel in a gasoline vehicle (I haven't tried it, but I expect the "medium" diesel nozzle will not fit in a gasoline "no-lead" sized nozzle restrictor).
