I was one of those that was "against" DEF on a diesel. While I still don't like the complexity it adds, I do agree is does add mpg via fewer regens.
DEF allows far more efficient engine tunes, allowing more MPG's, it's just a different method of treating the NOX that doesn't require additional consumption of fuel, instead using a SCR treatment method for NOX.
The more efficient a diesel engine tune is, the more heat it generates. NOX is a by product of those higher heat levels, and a SCR NOC treatment system is just another way to skin the cat, and keep our air that we all breathe cleaner.
I like keeping the air I breathe clean in the clean air places I go RV'ing.
