In Europe current thinking and study is beyond this point.
Diesels are bad to everyone's health - regardless of their MPG achievements.
And speaking of MPG achievements : in real world use, diesels lag far more behind their official ratings than petrol cars.
Current emission standards are causing the "cure" (particulate filters) for the fine diesel particulates to be worse than the problem itself - replacing fine dust with even finer and more harmful but uncontrolled dust particles.
Don't import another problem to cure the US's addiction to fuel ...
