To be fair, I've seen at least a half dozen gasoline vehicles burning on the side of the road in my decades of driving. Diesel is the way to go for less explosive/burnable vehicles, and diesel engines are way more efficient.
The real problem with diesel is it allows too much freedom of movement, you can drive over 400 miles or so on a tank. Authorities can not shut diesel engines down on a whim. You can fill back up in mere minutes and drive further. Think of cars like the internet. The kleptocracy is trying to turn the internet off because people can communicate wrong think. Cars are analogous in that people can flee tyranny. The problem though is the new generation of adults who actually believes people should be restricted because of climate change, which of course is actually caused by the same tyrants.
That's a fair point. I have noticed that all of my various diesel vehicles magically have a tank sized to get 500 miles or less range.
