I get 49 MPG in mixed mode driving on a Euro III emissions compliant diesel every day. Newer diesels are even more efficient. And I don't spare the accelerator either.

Right, but it's diesel... you never know what else you're exhausting into the environment.

Euro 3 means you're probably not eligible to enter a good chunk number of European city centres - and for good reason.

As for MPG are you talking US gallons or imperial? Also what's your car's segment?

U. S. gallons. My car is a large luxury performance sportwagon.

There are no cities with full bans on Euro III diesels or any diesel yet that I'm aware of or been denied entry in Sweden, and those few cities in Germany that do have them have only implemented partial restrictions.

The bans are not real, it's all just political maneuvering in order to get cheap votes.

Do you trust Bosch and your vehicle manufacturer to be honest to you, when they lie to your government?

I do, because my manufacturer is a supercool Japanese company. Japanese diesels for life!

I trust physics and chemistry, that's what I trust: when you elongate the exhaust manifold and manage to cool the exhaust down enough, you end up not even needing to inject Urea and still have an Euro VI compliant diesel.

It's the only company selling diesel passenger vehicles in Japan right now, with such a good motor that it's beloved by taxi drivers there. Which company is it, and what is the engine called?
