My opinion would say that is opinion...
Because they are extremely popular everywhere else besides the US.
As far as the government.... they claim particulate emissions are to blame, even with the low sulfur fuels. Not gas emissions.
This much I have researched quite a bit, and very frustrated when I point out the not so fuel efficient larger diesels.
I have read a rumor that Chevy is putting out a 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder diesel truck that will get 35mpg.... so why will they not put this in a smaller economy truck.... I hear from the government.... emissions.... lol
