Since June of 2007, the states have had the strictest diesel emissions standards in the world. Many automakers flatly refuse to sell diesel engines in north america for that reason. The engineering is possible, it just costs a lot.

The case of Mazda skyactiv diesel is the biggest example. They have been telling consumers they would have a Mazda 6 diesel for two years, but they can't make it get the small particulate emissions low enough to match California's regulations. (All new US autos must match California's regs to be sold here)

Our family had a 98 Subaru Forester with 500000kms on it. Kept running until some moron T-Boned my mom while she was driving it.

Ran with 500000 KMs like a ****ing dream. Zero problems. UNHEARD of for Edmonton's climate. Probably similar to 700000kms in California weather.

did you have the 4cyl or the 6cyl? I have the 6 and I'm wondering if that impacts the engine design you're talking about. I should do gasket work at this point, but, **** man, I fear that. I'd have to have all of that done for me for $$$$. Tough to know what's worth it.

I had the 4 cylinder. I Think it's similar with the 6. Are you in utah? If you are, I have a great mechanic who does stuff for dirt cheap. He changed the timing belt and idler on my last subaru for like $370, and it was $800 at the dealer.

Come on bro. My 6.7 liter turbo diesel ram 2500 gets 21mpg, 16 pulling a raft trailer. Get a diesel and a programmable chip! It's fast too. I burn through tires super quick with the chip in it.

Before I got the chip in it, I was averaging about 17mpg. No lift, but the biggest tires I could fit under the wheel wells without a lift, so not stock. The diesels are pretty efficient to begin with.

You should look at the 2016 Nissan Titan with the 5.0 liter cummins diesel though. Supposed to be better than anything out there in the 1/2-3/4 ton range next year, and it's supposed to get like 26 mpg.

Haha, yeah that would take it down pretty quick. You don't have to worry about great mpg when you are running over zombies though.
