Because US choose to run only petrol engines due to logistics. Shermans with diesel engines was delivered to Russia. Diesel engines was invented in Germany, so I guess US just continued with what they allready had in the supply Chain.

Changes the supply requirements to just have to supply one fuel. Which is still happening- you’ll note how many US military things run on kerosene, which is the fuel of choice for jets.
For WWII, if just a handful of high performance planes need the best fuel, it’s pretty easy to deliver regular gas for planes, tanks, trucks, and jeeps.
