That is not correct.
The refiners in the US are set up to distill gasoline with diesel as a by product, trying to max the production of gasoline but making a poorer grade of middle distallates. In Europe it is the direct opposite, that reason why they get much more diesel from a barrel of crude and it is of much higher quality.
