One note, as far as mpg loss.
This is the second phase of current diesel emission reductions. The first was for 01/03 engines. Those losses are well documented, plus the number of reported problems went up. Of course they became more reliable after some of the kinks were worked out, but, those engines are now being phased out, and the mpg never came back.
