No sleep lost here. I got into EGR deletes backwards from semi trucks. The EPA applies a one size fits all solution to reduce particulate and NOX emissions to reduce smog in cities.

I've lived 6 miles from Filer. You have no smog.

To be able to reach the smog reduction, the EPA mandate increased Semi (diesel) fuel consumption between 15 and 20%. Semis burn about 20% of this country's fuel. We're sending our finest overseas to secure oil, and then we mandate technology to increase the consumption by 20%? Semi's burn 95% of their fuel somewhere on I80 in Wyoming, or I70 in Colorado... not in the cities. What smog?

Insanity.

BTW, you can reach the smog reduction equally by running a hybrid natural gas/diesel engine. Look for it in the next couple of years.
