Snorkel can’t help introduce more air for the diesel?

Incorrect. The last FCA 3.0 had both, the new one will, and almost every modern diesel is forced to use both. You cannot meet particulate emissions standards without the DPF and you cannot meet NOx emissions standards without urea DEF fluid. Most also use an EGR to stay under these limits...arguably the most detrimental piece of the system as it pertains to long-term engine health. The DPF will also run regen cycles to increase lifespan, as most do, but it’ll be a consumable part as they all are. When it fails, delete unless still under warranty.Uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid instead of a Particulate Filter I believe. As far as I know they don't come together.
ugh, they get more complicated as time goes on I guess.Incorrect. The last FCA 3.0 had both, the new one will, and almost every modern diesel is forced to use both.

Today's fuel prices at the Costco in Melrose Park, IL:Diesel Jeep, with fuel 15% higher than gas in a tiny little 4500# vehicle?
Why?
That's the way it should be. Diesel costs way less to refine but they've been gouging the guys with big trucks for years.Today's fuel prices at the Costco in Melrose Park, IL:
Regular $2.93/gal
Premium $3.44/gal
DIESEL $2.85/gal
Myth. Busted.
Oh come on, Karl.Today's fuel prices at the Costco in Melrose Park, IL:

My understanding is the root cause of that price discrepancy has been refinery capacity. They need more capacity but are unwilling to spend the big $$ that would require so diesel see-saws between "not enough" and "too much".That's the way it should be. Diesel costs way less to refine but they've been gouging the guys with big trucks for years.
Not a myth in my neck of the woods, either. Diesel is usually 20% more here: $2.85 for regular, $3.45 for diesel right now.Oh come on, Karl.
Not a myth, and I’m not busted.
Things change. Diesel has been ~15% higher than gas for several years now.
I’m glad to see that diesel fuel is getting more reasonably priced now.
Depends on the state (some tax diesel higher than others), time of year (winter home heating oil demand increases road diesel cost), and currently the supply side problems with the ethanol market for gas in the Midwest.Today's fuel prices at the Costco in Melrose Park, IL:

I spent 26 years in that political dumpster fire, three of which were driving VW diesels. Most fill-ups were in MA, NJ, and NH before I escaped permanently. I hear y’all are getting a pile of tolls to up the price of travel for everyone regardless of fuel preference.Check your state taxes I know mine taxes diesel much higher than gasoline and that causes it to cost more but I'm also in the wonderful state of Connecticut where we try to keep up with or replace California as the worst state to do anything
