well, we still call it calibration... 
Small player gas stations have dirty diesel but the big ones (Shell, Petron, Caltex, etc.) are not dirty. We have low sulfur diesel fuel here and we have lots of diesel cars here. SUVs and Pick-ups sold here are all diesel except for some American SUVs. Popular diesel cars here are BMWs, Mercedes Benz, Audis, Ford, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, Toyota, etc. We don't have diesel SMALL cars here because they are more expensive than the petrol model. The market for small cars are those with limited budget and a diesel small sedan is out of the question. A Ford Focus diesel costs 1,200,000.00 pesos while the petrol model costs 900,000 pesos. A 1.2 Kia is a lot cheaper and consumes very little fuel.
Diesels are 20-25 % more expensive everywhere. The same situation here.
p.s. Slightly less in EU, because Croatia and Phil* probably have high import taxes and in EU there are none for cars produced there.
