Diesels are available, but no one ever uses them. They're mainly used as company work hacks. The 4WD's are about the only passenger vehicle on the road here that run on diesel.

there's a handful of small(ish) diesal vehicles (or at least there have been, not sure about now).

Diesel is being phased out for passenger cars due to emission, so it is incorrect to say they are not readily used. Nearly every make and model there is a diesel version. Which is why my exporters like a mate is making a killing sending luxury diesel cars especially 270D back to UK and other european countries

Though it is largely used by commercial vehicles, which will still be available for a little longer before they all change to fuel cell.

Brian, correct so does the bluebird, sunny, crew...etc...

So how much is the price for petrol on average in Japan?

You can`t beat Norway 172.2631yen per liter.
