“Although I like the diesel and hate the thought of dealing with ethanol.”
I suspect there is no way you can accept the money and not have the car modified to meet the new standards. It will likely accelerate like and old 220D Mercedes and get much worse fuel economy.
I am hoping ethanol will go away.
You might like an old Mercedes 300TD. I live in Florida, God’s waiting room. Old cars in wonderful condition come up on Craiglist about once every two months. Start shopping. Good luck.
