I wonder if the ECE has less stringent emissions standards that the EPA or individual states' regulatory policies. I would be surprised if that were not the case, because U.S consumers could really benefit from the low end torque and FE that diesels offer versus comparably sized gas engines. Makes me wonder what else may be preventing the use of diesel here.
