I get that it's illegal...

but to the TDIs in question emit more or less pollution than a Ford F150?
If you get better MPG your overall pollution is always less at 22lbs of pollution per gallon.

What the EPA is upset over is that instead of .4ppm the cars emit up to
16ppm, which is still less than most 90's era vehicles.
