I hear ya. But you have to understand that's the same argument we (me included) had against emission systems on our gas engines in the 70's. Lost power, used more gas, but you can't argue our air is cleaner as a result. And a gas engine today makes more power from less displacement and gets better mpg to boot. I, for one, don't wish to relive the "good old days".
If the engineers are forced to make the same leaps with diesel technology we will all benefit in the long run. In the mean time, more fuel doesn't equal more emissions. In this case it only means cleaner air.
