Our great idiotic nation "Peoples Republic of Commiefornia" Banned the VW TDI cars and did not even allow Jeep and its diesel motor Cherokee to be imported here. I was ready to buy the Jeep until I went to the dealer and he told me " NO WAY in California". Now if it's burning clean and is not a problem and gets good gas mileage to save money? WhY the heck do you ban it?

It might have something to do with America's late conversion to ULSD. Now that we have ULSD...I'm hoping for European diesel technology.
