Yep choking down the capabillity of the diesels. pretty sad.
Same with the gas engines though.
The study I would like to see is where the restrictions and modifiers reduction numbers are equated against real world mpg and the surreal world 4 cyl diesels that pull 80mpg+
How much more pollution v/s waste is created by supposedly improving emissions numbers but dropping mpg numbers.
Ill bet NOX actually drops when mpg efficiency is factored into the bigger picture.
I remember about 10 years ago when SVO was first being trumpeted throughout the country people actually complained because it smelled like french fries.
We need leaders who actually see and react to the big picture not to voices in thier 5 minute office session who spend thier days shmoozing their so called advisors.
If regulation reduces efficiency in an ICE then find a better way or dont add it.
I dont much care what CARB says or does!
