Yes, things have gotten arguably better though.
For years Bosch has been telling GM and Dodge/Ram that thier FI system needs 2~3 micron fuel filtering but the manufacturers have ignored them. This results in excess wear to injectors and shorter life. The newer filtering gets down to that micron level and has better water separation.
Still, it's a hard pill to swallow going from my $12 filter (though I do have 3u secondary filtering) to $120 FF's.
Dodge updated my 2007.5 to a newer style canister and filter in 2009. The old Cummins filter was spec'd at 7 microns. The newer style is spec'd at 5 microns. Not great but better than the original. The newer Mopar/Fleetguard filter costs around $50. I currently have 80,000 miles on mine. Maybe time to add a better filter I suppose.
