Why would it keep anyone from buying a vehicle? You top off the fluid every time you change your oil. What's the big deal?

1. 66% reduction in NOx emissions

2. In Chevy's system you are first limited in speed to 55 MPH, then another drop, then finally 5 MPH. So you're never left stranded, and if you don't fill up as soon as you are limited to 55 MPH, then you deserve to go 5 MPH.

3. This is the only thing to really be bothered about with DEF systems. This has always been the case with emissions though. You're complaining now, but are you still complaining about the catalytic converter in your cars? Are you just dying to go back to the good old days of smog alerts in every major city every day? Because I'm not. I get it, you are bothered because individually we don't even notice emissions, but collectively they truly do pose a problem. I actually like to go outside. I like to run, bike, play sports, hike and have fun. While I'm not a fan of emission controls, I've definitely noticed they have helped the air quality tremendously in the Atlanta area, where I live.

Try this, stand behind an old school diesel (maybe GM's J-type or Ford's 7.3) while the engine is running and try to have a conversation with someone. Now, do the same thing with a brand new Duramax. You'll barely hear or notice the Duramax, you'll be choking and shouting standing behind the 10 year old engine. That's why.

ps. the fact that you call it "pee water" is hilarious. This stuff really is commercial grade urine... notice I said commercial grade though guys... don't pee in the tank. It will end poorly.

"An easy thing to run out of"

If you're a complete moron. Most autoparts stores carry it now by the gallon and sticking an extra gallon in your trunk will keep you going for quite a long time.
