I guess most of you are too young to remember the growing pains of early emissions equipped gas engines, run on and hot cat converters, air pumps. Now days it is just part of the engine.
Emissions equipment have only been on diesels for 9 to 13 years, depending on the brand, car have been working on it for about 40 years.
You bring up a good point - let me put a spin on it.
We're now at exactly 10 years since the first DPF trucks appeared. Gasoline emissions first appeared around what, 1973?
Would you consider a 1983 gasoline efficient? IIRC, that's right around when a Chevy 350 made 150ish hp. Well, that's how mature I believe the current DIESEL emissions are - 1980's gas level.
As you said, 40+ yrs into it, no one thinks about gas emissions any more. So in 2007 + 40 = 2047, I will happily buy a diesel without even thinking about emissions. But not today.
