I am all for protecting the environment, but I agree with Cody about the stupid mandates like the DPF that do more harm than good... give it a few years and they will decide Urea is toxic for the environment...
As for the DPF... I tried to explain to the idiots at the EPA booth at the auto show how stupid the idea is... instead of letting the ash fall to the ground and probably enrich the soil... we are going to dump raw fuel into the exhaust so it can burn in the exhaust and produce more pollutants while producing no benefit for the vehicle. then it will vaporize the soot so it can rise up and pollute the atmosphere while reducing vehicle fuel efficiency and power...
Besides the fact that modern diesels already produce less pollution and provide better fuel economy than their gasoline counterparts.
