so all cars with internal combustion release harmful emissions into the atmosphere. gasoline is clean in most respects now a days but we do all to reduce its CO2. As we all know diesel has a major NOX contributor. both cars in 2015 have emissions systems to scrub away as much harmfull elements as possible. i like this since it keeps our air cleaner then open headers.
My complaint is why do we the people, owning diesels allow our goverment to single us out? when a gas car has a bad catalytic converter a CEL comes on but no harm or penalty to the driver. a gas driver can drive this pouting 2015 Gasser until the wheel falls off. when our new modern diesels ( CTD, pickups/big rigs too) have a emissions malfunction the goverment insisted on us being limited to a max of 45mph for x amount of miles; at this point then continues to basically slow you to a crawl and that's it. at this point your only option is the dealer.
why have we the people, owning diesels let this hypocrisy go on? im for making smart emissions systems, but all or nothing. if a Gasser has a malfunctioning emissions system they should suffer the same consequences as us diesel owners. it doesn't seem smart to limit a cars capacity due to a emissions malfunction. hope your near a town with a chevy dealer when this happens or your sold in the middle on no where.
what do you all here think? are we being singled out as "polluters" and thus must suffer huge consequences of emissions CEL or do i have a point
