Critical production capacity limits, due to the configuration of our domestic refineries in a fashion that produces a higher proportion of gasoline from crude, will keep diesel relatively scarce and priced higher than gas. "Back in the day" when we had a lot of diesel cars to choose from diesel was plentiful and actually cost less than regular.
If they ratchet up CAFE standards, the automakers might be forced to sell more diesels anyway. That's probably why the article spoke of 4-cyl future 9^5s.
