No way of modding that emission junk off the engine to return the mpg?

I would not buy a 2007 emissions diesel truck. the economy hit from the DPF regen cycle brings their mileage down to gasser levels, so what's the point of not just running the big gasser and saving the money? I don't know if those systems will let this new crop of trucks last the way the old ones have, either. The diesel appeal has really been killed by the NOX emissions standards.
