It would be interesting to have a long term side by side test of a deleted truck vs a stock truck. Measure emissions and mpg to see if the deleted truck getting more mpg actually produces less emissions over say 100,000 miles. Lots of speculation on both sides.
The only thing the deleted truck will emit less of is CO2 because it is burning less fuel. Emissions of the nasty carcinogens like particulates and NOx will be way up.
True, but you would also have to calculate the pollution from the factory making the DEF and the factory making the jug or totes it comes in. Then you would have to factor in emissions of the delivery system of the DEF and the waste of the plastic bottles. All of that just to get an extra 1.8 gm-hp/hr lower versus the 2004 emissions that didn't require that stuff.
