Well, yeah, Europe and the offshore islands such as GB do have lots of diesels. One of the downsides of this is the cities tend to smell a little oily, especially in winter when the wind isn't blowing.
Lower the speed limit? Good idea, but almost unenforcable. I remember talking to a German during the '73 oil crunch, as they had forbidden all non emergency driving on weekends as well as a speed limit. He said; "They can not do this on a long-term basis. Germany is too big, and our economy is based on long-distance driving." Not that it isn't a good idea, and not that it indeed will save fuel.
